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.
