In DSpace 1.5 the browse options are completely configurable to your requirements (see the substantial browse section in dspace.cfg, and let us know if something doesn't make sense). In DSpace 1.4.x you can change the bindings of the 4 given indices to the ones that you want to use. If you look in dspace.cfg you should find something like: # webui.browse.index.date = dc.date.issued # webui.browse.index.author = dc.contributor.* # webui.browse.index.title = dc.title # webui.browse.index.subject = dc.subject.* If you uncomment these lines, and set the first line equal to the date field you really want to browse by and re-index, that should do the job for you.
