Default sort value

(from github.com/kledung)
We have set “score.desc” as Default Sort Value under General configuration.

sort

Is the search result then sorted by score.desc when I use the json search api or do I have to add sort=score.desc in my search string anyway?

myurl/json/?q=test&num=10&start=0&sort=score.desc

If you do not set sort request parameter, a value of Default Sort Value is used.
