Hi, I only know half the answer; AZCompactList.pm is used at runtime to create this classification as per your collect.cfg file. If you open AZCompactList.pm in a text editor and search for 'sort' you should be able to find the bit of code that tells that specifies it to sort by date (AZCOmpactList.pm doesn't do the sorting - it uses another routine to do that - it just sets a flag so the leaves get sorted- by date is the default) As for the results of a search - I don't know - but I'd love to find out. I can only guess the sort order is what we get is from mg/mgpp. -- Subject: [greenstone-devel] Dear All, One of my colleague just found that the sort order of search result list and that of the browse list are reverse. For example, when I searched a person's name: "Ahmed, Junaid", I got the following result: May_7_1993 April_30_1993 April_16_1993 March_12_1993 February_26_1993 When I browsed the "people A-Z" classifier, which is a AZCompactList, I got this list under "Ahmed, Junaid": February_26_1993 March_12_1993 April_16_1993 April_30_1993 May_7_1993 Does anyone know the mechanism of the two sorting methods? Is it possible to make the two indentical? Thanks a bunch!
