Content Item Field Indexes

The article:list tag returns a java.util.List bean containing all the content items in a publication that match various criteria. You can use it, for example, to list the last ten content items added to a specific section, or all the content items published in the last three days. The article:list tag also has a field attribute that you can use for selecting and sorting the content items to list by field value. If, for example, the content items in your publication have a priority field, you might want to obtain a list of all content items with a priority of 1. You can do this as follows:

<article:list
      id="myList"
      sectionUniqueName="mySection"
      field="priority"
      expression="1" />

You can, however, only use the link attribute on content item fields that have been indexed. If the priority field is not indexed, then this example will not work.
