# Sorting tab

The **Sorting** tab lets you configure options to let users sort search results based on a specific field..

> [!note]
> By default, if you do not enable sorting or do not select a property, search results are ordered based on relevance. Search results where the [Boolean](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/boolean-sorting.html "Boolean sorting") property is null are displayed last in the search results list.

> [!note]
> **Before you begin**
> -   [Add a **Search** component](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/add,-modify,-or-delete-page-components.html "Add, modify, or delete page components") to the page.
