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, default Note: not clear if this is the case, in the list at the moment default sort order is Genre, descending, so this is added and the list is changed for R2.--Natasa 10:03, 18 December 2007 (CET)
  • 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).

TODO: Clarify what are the rules for sorting when the metadata for sorting is not populated? (e.g. Journal has no dates at all. Where are this displayed in ascending/descending sorting order by Date?)--Natasa 11:35, 18 December 2007 (CET)
