Richard:

The work you have done here is very impressive, and I'm wondering if it's
going to become part of a future release of DSpace.  This functionality
would be nice to have, but one we don't necessary must have, and I'm a bit
scared to apply your patch and then not be able to update to future releases
of DSpace.  If it's going to be incorporated into the DSpace code, I think
it might be best for me to wait for its release then.  Any ideas about this?

Many thanks!
Jose

I was going to start incorporating this patch into my dspace 1.4.2 and I
just want to make sure that the latest one from 

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1702233&group_id=19
984&atid=319984

is for 1.4.2.  I got this impression from your comments, but there is so
much to this patch that I don't want to screw anything up.  

Thanks!

Jose

Ah, an opportunity to blow my own trumpet twice in one morning ;)

There is a new browse patch available which allows complete 
configuration of all browse options, including which fields to index, 
which fields to permit sorting over, cross linking between browse 
contexts, long field truncation (e.g. many authors), results page 
customising, as well as significant performance improvements.

Enjoy it here:

984&atid=319984

It also has an Oracle patch and is integrated with the sort field 
normalisation work courtesy of Graham Triggs.

Cheers,
