Hi,

I'm playing with OpenSearch in DSpace 4.2 and I'm having a couple of
issues.  I see OpenSearch uses the Discovery configuration, so I'm
investigating `discovery.xml'.  Here are two related issues I'm having:

1- I've added a custom sortField for dc.date.accessioned and added it to my
bean's sortFields, but I can't figure out how to use it.  OpenSearch has a
`sort_by' parameter which only takes an integer; how do I know which
integer to use?

2- If I use `sort_by=2` it appears to be sorting by dc.date.issued, but in
ascending order, even though `discovery.xml' lists "desc" as the default
sort order everywhere in the config.

We're trying to piggy back on OpenSearch to build custom RSS feeds for
certain terms, so we can use a feed aggregator to send email alerts when
there are new items.  Unfortunately it's quite pointless if we can't
customize the field to sort by or see the newest items first in the feed!

Our application stack is: DSpace 4.2, Tomcat 7, Oracle Java 7, Ubuntu 14.04.

Thank you,

Alan
