Order filter PLAYS_ASC

Hi,

I have the same issue as this post from 2017 https://forum.kaltura.org/t/playlist-order-by/4553 and it seems not resolved.

When I use KalturaMediaEntryOrderBy::PLAYS_ASC as a filter the entries are not returned in order. I tried in the API Console, and it doesn’t work well. It’s the code:

<?php
  $filter = new KalturaMediaEntryFilter();
  $filter->orderBy = KalturaMediaEntryOrderBy::PLAYS_ASC;
  $pager = new KalturaFilterPager();

  try {
    $result = $client->media->listAction($filter, $pager);
    var_dump($result);
  } catch (Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
  }
?>

But if I order with KalturaMediaEntryOrderBy::PLAYS_DESC it works well. It makes sense?

thanks

Hi @lluis-ribes,

I recommend you use esearch.searchEntry() instead. See https://developer.kaltura.com/console/service/eSearch/action/searchEntry

Thanks Jess,

As you said, it seems that the “plays” are deprecated from that entry media.list.

I share a code with esearch.searchEntry() that can replace my first one.

<?php
  $elasticSearchPlugin = KalturaElasticSearchClientPlugin::get($client);
  $searchParams = new KalturaESearchEntryParams();
  $searchParams->orderBy = new KalturaESearchOrderBy();
  $searchParams->orderBy->orderItems = [];
  $searchParams->orderBy->orderItems[0] = new KalturaESearchEntryOrderByItem();
  $searchParams->orderBy->orderItems[0]->sortField = KalturaESearchEntryOrderByItem::PLAYS;
  $searchParams->orderBy->orderItems[0]->sortOrder = KalturaESearchEntryOrderByItem::ORDER_BY_DESC;
  $searchParams->searchOperator = new KalturaESearchEntryOperator();
  $searchParams->searchOperator->searchItems = [];
  $searchParams->searchOperator->searchItems[0] = new KalturaESearchEntryItem();
  $searchParams->searchOperator->searchItems[0]->itemType = KalturaESearchItemType::RANGE;
  $searchParams->searchOperator->searchItems[0]->fieldName = KalturaESearchEntryFieldName::CREATED_AT;
  $searchParams->searchOperator->searchItems[0]->range = new KalturaESearchRange();
  $searchParams->searchOperator->searchItems[0]->range->greaterThanOrEqual = 1612173489;
  $pager = new KalturaPager();

  try {
    $result = $elasticSearchPlugin->eSearch->searchEntry($searchParams, $pager);
    var_dump($result);
  } catch (Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
  }
?>
