    Hello,

    We have used “property features” to add checklists to locations as our site is dedicated to specific features that a location offers. One of those checklists is based on whether the location offers medical support (defibrillators, charging stations for medical equipment, medically trained personnelle, etc.) in a checklist.

    This checklist is included in our advanced search within the dropdown from the gear button in the search bar.

    We would like to include this in a sidebar on the search results page (listing page?) as a way to filter the search results in case the user forgets or neglects to check off the advanced search options. But all my searches of the documentation points to turning on the option “include in sorting options” in the custom fields tab…HOWEVER, there is no option to include “property features” in the sorting options.

    Our goal is for the user to have an amazon-like experience where you can search broadly and narrow down search results by these filters (amazon filters by things like cost and brand…we would like to sort by property features though)

    How can we accomplish this?

    Sorting can be applied to listing pages but not search results.

    Property features is a type of Multiselect and multiselect also cannot be used in sorting options.

    In the past members who have wanted something like property features as a sorting option have chosen a checkbox
