Hi Sally and others,

I'd also be interested in the answer to this question - it seems it's not always the same in our installations and I was wondering where in the code this happens and how it could be changed.

Hi,

We are using Koha 16.11, and Zebra.

We have individual records for different item types - e.g. hardback, paperback, 
DVD, large print, audiobook etc.  A search will return many records with equal 
ranking, which is correct, as they are all the same title.

When records are ranked equally, they are then sorted by bibilonumber in 
descending order, with the highest biblionumber (newest) displaying in the 
results first.  For example:

Result  Title   Type    Copies  Rank    Biblionumber
1       ABC     DVD     4       90%     44567
2       ABC     LP      2       90%     34689
3       ABC     PBK     63      90%     23456
4       ABC     HBK     80      90%     12345
5       CDE     DVD     11      64%     44235
6       CDE     HBK     43      64%     22132

We would like equally ranked records to be sorted by biblionumber ascending, so 
the oldest items are shown first.  This means our hardback/paperbacks would sit 
at the top of the search results, as these are purchased before multimedia and 
large print.

Result  Title   Type    Copies  Rank    Biblionumber
1       ABC     HBK     80      90%     12345
2       ABC     PBK     63      90%     23456
3       ABC     LP      2       90%     34689
4       ABC     DVD     4       90%     44567
5       CDE     HBK     43      64%     22132
6       CDE     DVD     11      64%     44235

Does anyone know if it's possible to achieve this, and how to do so?

Many thanks,

Sally
