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
