Sorting is available in all classes and is controlled by the collmgr sortflds field. Sorting is configurable by collection in all classes.
Text Class
The possible values for sorting in Text Class are "occur", "datea", "dated", "author", "title", "freq", which correspond to the pulldown menu items: "not sorted", "date ascending", "date descending", "author", "title", "frequency". The menu items will appear in the order listed in the collmgr field. It is best to place "occur" first as the default behavior is unsorted. You must have maps for maindate, mainauthor, and maintitle to support date, author, and title sorting.
Finding Aids
The possible values for sorting in Finding Aids Class are "occur", "title", "creator", "freq" which correspond to the pulldown menu items: "not sorted", "title", "creator","frequency". The menu items will appear in the order listed in the collmgr field. It is best to place "occur" first as the default behavior is unsorted. You must have maps for mainauthor and maintitle to support creator and title sorting.
