Re: [Dspace-tech] Author sorting
I feel the problem is not with the postgres version. If you look into org.dspace.browse.BrowseItem.java you can see the below SQL's holding the values for browse display and you can notice the query is not ordered by the text_value. We have our dspace running on 1.4.2 and I'm not sure whether it's already been taken care in 1.5 version. You need to change it as below and run your build script for compiling the class to make the browse display ordered by Author /** query to get the text value of a metadata element only (qualifier is NULL) */ private String getByMetadataElement = SELECT text_value,text_lang,element,qualifier FROM metadatavalue, metadatafieldregistry, metadataschemaregistry + WHERE metadatavalue.item_id = ? + AND metadatavalue.metadata_field_id = metadatafieldregistry.metadata_field_id + AND metadatafieldregistry.element = ? + AND metadatafieldregistry.qualifier IS NULL + AND metadatafieldregistry.metadata_schema_id=metadataschemaregistry.metadata _schema_id + AND metadataschemaregistry.short_id = ? order by text_value; /** query to get the text value of a metadata element and qualifier */ private String getByMetadata = SELECT text_value,text_lang,element,qualifier FROM metadatavalue, metadatafieldregistry, metadataschemaregistry + WHERE metadatavalue.item_id = ? + AND metadatavalue.metadata_field_id = metadatafieldregistry.metadata_field_id + AND metadatafieldregistry.element = ? + AND metadatafieldregistry.qualifier = ? + AND metadatafieldregistry.metadata_schema_id=metadataschemaregistry.metadata _schema_id + AND metadataschemaregistry.short_id = ? order by text_value; /** query to get the text value of a metadata element with the wildcard qualifier (*) */ private String getByMetadataAnyQualifier = SELECT text_value,text_lang,element,qualifier FROM metadatavalue, metadatafieldregistry, metadataschemaregistry + WHERE metadatavalue.item_id = ? + AND metadatavalue.metadata_field_id = metadatafieldregistry.metadata_field_id + AND metadatafieldregistry.element = ? + AND metadatafieldregistry.metadata_schema_id=metadataschemaregistry.metadata _schema_id + AND metadataschemaregistry.short_id = ? order by text_value; Cheers, Sri -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Blanco, Jose Sent: 05 August 2008 19:07 To: dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Dspace-tech] Author sorting I was hoping that the our new version of postgres ( 8.1.11 ) would solve the problem we see when authors are browsed.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Author sorting
Well, it does indeed seem that this is not dependent on the PostgreSQL version, because I see the same incorrect behavior out of version 8.3.3. The immediate problem is not the lack of ORDER BY; the immediate problem is that ORDER BY does not seem to work for these data. I tried the same experiment, completely unconnected with DSpace, and got the same result: b sorts before some , and after others...or, more likely, the data are returned in entry order regardless of ORDER BY. I've tested both CHAR and VARCHAR and they both do this. INT columns are ordered properly. -- Mark H.

We are using postgresql v 7.3 and it worked fine with ORDER BY text_value.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Author sorting
When I was on version 7.3.15 of postgres I tested the order by just as I described in my original email, and it gave me the undesired results. There must be some sort of setting to make this work. I have seen sites where it works just fine. -Jose -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kasthuri, Sriram Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2008 9:30 AM To: Mark H.
