Hi,
We had a similiar requirement in which, the order of authors listed on item
view (both summary and detailed) had to be changed.
Just like what you mentioned, the order of importance/responsibility of
authors.
We hacked our theme.xsl file, and made the tree nodes to be outputted in
the reverse way, assuming metadata while capturing, is captured in the
order of importance.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Flemion.

Hello,
Is there a way in the xmlui interface to force the order in which
repeatable metadata fields are saved when editing existing items?
For some items, the librarians have created multiple (usually about 4)
dc.contributor.author fields in the metadata, with a personal name
listed in each field. They wish to indicate levels of responsibility by
having the most responsible author listed first in the display.
When these items are initially created, the author fields save, and then
display, in the order in which they are entered. If the metadata for
these items is edited later, though, the contributor.author fields save
and display in an order that is unpredictable to us. Is there a way to
force the ordering when editing the metadata in xmlui? If not, is there
any other solution to force the order in which the authors display when
viewing the items?
We're using version 1.5.
Thanks,
Keith
