Related to MetacatUI - Feature #6059: Remove sort by author until appropriate index field is availableClosedben leinfelder

Updated by Matt Jones about 11 years ago

The current sort 'Author (a-z)' sorts on the origin field, which presents author names as 'First Last', and results in a non-intuitive sort. The 'origin' field is probably best for the display of the author list, but 'authorLastName' is probably better for sorting.

This is a limitation on the fields that are indexed. An updated cn-index-processor (v1.2.0) library will include a field that is appropriate for lastName sorting.

We can remove the author sort for now until support for this is available in our index (a new Metacat release).

authorSurNameSort field has been added to metacat in d1_cn_index_processor 1.2.0 and should be ready for sorting as soon as it is populated.
