Hi Alan, OpenSearch is using the dspace.cfg not discovery.xml and sorting options are defined like that: webui.itemlist.sort-option.1 = dateissued:dc.date.issued:date webui.itemlist.sort-option.2 = dateaccessioned:dc.date.accessioned:date The sort-option and the order can be defined with get parameters like this &sort_by=1&order=DESC Best -- Christian Scheible Softwareentwickler / Abt.
