OsidObjectSearchOrder specifies preferred ordering of search results. An OsidSearchOrder is available from an search session and supplied to an OsidSearch.

OsidObjectSearch os = session.getObjectSearch();
os.limitResultSet(1, 25);

OsidObjectSearchOrder order = session.getObjectSearchOrder();
order.orderByDisplayName();
os.orderResults(order);

OsidObjectQuery query;
query = session.getObjectQuery();
query.addDescriptionMatch("*food*", wildcardStringMatchType, true);

ObjectSearchResults results = session.getObjectsBySearch(query, os);
ObjectList list = results.getObjectList();
