The system supports the sorting of the item list according to one of the following metadata elements:
- Date (most recent)
- Title
- Genre
- Creator – Person.FamilyName or Organization.Name of the first Creator
- PublishingInfo – Organisation.Name
- ReviewMethod
- Source.Creator – Person.FamilyName or Organization.Name of the first Source.Creator
- Source.Title
- Event.Title
and the following item data:
- Last Modified, descending
- Collection
- State
- Owner
The system must support sorting in respect of case insensitivity and special characters (e.g. ä, ö, ü, ß, é, ê, è).
Default system sorting[edit]
By default, system sorting is by date (descending)
