Lucene is the DSpace search engine. Currently, DSpace only used "tokenized" indexes (field content is splitted in "tokens": the words).

Lucene is able to very efficiently sort its result (by default it sorts by disminishing "relevance") but only for the untokenized fields (fields indexed "as is" without word splitting or content modification. This is what my patch uses. It is very few lines of Java code and I suppose it may be rather easily added to 1.5.

Have a nice week-end!

    Hi Andrew!

    For me, the concept of Journal is best represented by DSpace
    "Collection".

    Your problem is a sorting problem (how to show a given result
    sorted by issues). This what it takes and not complex modeling and
    outside tools (IMHO).

    I provided a patch in the past to sort by publishing date (for
    DSpace 1.4) and I started a discussion about sort
    parameterization. Discussion which did not gather a lot of interest.


That patch sounds interesting. What a pity it was not taken on board. It ia also a pity sorting did not generate more discussion. I am interested. I think DSpace could make much more use of its dc metadata, dc.identifier.citation being just one example.
    If you somehow have a field (dc.identifier.citation) which can
    represent the order of articles (for instance Vol/No/Page in
    standardized columns like "Vol.32 No.05 p.023", then my patch
    should do the job. The main thing is to have an Untokenized Lucene
    index for the sort field.


I don't know what you mean by untokenized lucene index. Can you explain please? --

Andrew M.
