I have a post with a custom taxonomy. That custom taxonomy has a single option. Is it possible to sort my search results to list posts that have this taxonomy selected first?

For instance:

Post One (Custom taxonomy "on_sale" has the item "clearance" selected )
Post Seven (Custom taxonomy "on_sale" has the item "clearance" selected )
Post Four (Custom taxonomy "on_sale" has the item "clearance" selected )
Post Two (Custom taxonomy "on_sale" has nothing selected )
Post Three (Custom taxonomy "on_sale" has nothing selected )
Post Five (Custom taxonomy "on_sale" has nothing selected )

Thanks

Hello,

No there isn't such a built-in feature within Views.

Views plugin is using WordPress class WP_Query to query the posts, there isn't such an option to order the result by custom taxonomy:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters

So you might consider to use a custom field to replace the custom taxonomy "on_sale"
