Hibernate Search: Unknown field 'taskId' while searching and sorting

Hibernate Search
1

We are searching data but while sorting (after search) getting below exception.
Not sure why HS 6 giving Unknown field ‘taskId’ while sort.
Here is code snippet something like this

@Id
@Column(name = Task.ID_COL, length = 36)
@GeneratedValue(generator = "uuid")
@GenericGenerator(
            name = "uuid",
            strategy = "uuid2"
            )
@org.hibernate.annotations.Type(type = "uuid-char")
    private UUID taskId;

==============

@Override
    protected SearchSort createSort(final SearchSortFactory sf) {
        return  sf.field("somefieldName_sort").then().field("taskId").toSort();
    }

Caused by: org.hibernate.search.util.common.SearchException: HSEARCH400504: Unknown field 'taskId'.

For anyone who ended up here and didn’t find the answer to their question, make sure you add @GenericField(sortable=Sortable.YES) to the field

Imports

import org.hibernate.search.engine.backend.types.Sortable;
import org.hibernate.search.mapper.pojo.mapping.definition.annotation.GenericField;

Yes, entity properties must be mapped to index fields explicitly and, on contrary to Hibernate Search 5, in Hibernate Search 6 the document ID is no longer an index field.
