James, This is what I have in my dspace.cfg file
# Browse indexes webui.browse.index.1 = title:item:title webui.browse.index.2 = author:metadata:dc.contributor.author:text webui.browse.index.3 = subject:metadata:dc.subject.*:text webui.browse.index.4 = dateissued:item:dateissued # Sorting options webui.itemlist.sort-option.1 = title:dc.title:title webui.itemlist.sort-option.2 = dateissued:dc.date.issued:date webui.itemlist.sort-option.3 = dateaccessioned:dc.date.accessioned:date How does it compare with what you have? If you change any of the parameters, you need to run ./dspace index-init -Jose -----Original Message----- From: James Bardin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2011 1:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Dspace-tech] search can't sort by date issued Hello, Attempting to sort search results by "issue date" results in the following error: "ERROR org.dspace.search.DSQuery @ Unable to use speficied sort option: dateissued" Checking DSQuery.java (line ~235) shows that this is catching a generic exception from lucene, which results in the sorting falling back to "relevance". This is confusing to users, because there no indication from the xmlui that would indicate the sorting failed or is incorrect. Any ideas why sorting on dc.date.isssued is failing, or where to start for troubleshooting?
