--- Comment #13 from David Nind <[email protected]> --- I tested the alternate patch, but haven't signed it off. I like the idea that the library can configure depending on how they do things/want to do things. After applying the patch the default sort order seems to be biblionumber, rather than title (did flush_memcached, restart_all, clear browser cache). System preference was showing as title and ascending. (I increased the MaxComponentRecords to 1,000 so that all sample records are shown. If I change the preference to title, from A to Z it seems to work okay (chinese and other titles with different character encoding appear first, so I'm assuming there are some rules for how this works behind the scenes - once the "english" titles start, they appear in order). I had mixed results trying the different combinations of sort orders, probably more to do with the sample record data and having 435 records listed: - date added: it was almost impossible to check given most being 09/04/2014 - changing some seemed to sort in order. - author: seems OK for later items when clear last name, for the records listed first seems pretty random - particularly where multople authors, editors, no author - I'm assuming there are some rules about how this works or will use the first author. - call number: seems ok - added a few to some items to test. - date of publication: based on 260$c?, seems a bit random sometimes - for example, dates with <1973-c1980>, sorting descending - Economics (record 434), with a 2014 publication date appears at the end of the list - title: seems okay. I'm assuming for sort order A-Z is for titles or for a mix of numbers and letters (like call numbers), and ascending and descending when dates. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
