Hi Katherine,
I found that I could get the AZCompactList classifier to sort properly,
but only if I added a 0 in front of the 1 and 2 digit numbers.
Otherwise it would still sort as before. I have found someone that can
write a script for me that will add a numeric metadata field to my
documents, adding the 0 in front.

Hi Jenn
Do you still have the sorting problem?
Actually, when you are doing a boolean search, the results are not
sorted - they are returned in build order. Sections appear to be sorted
because they are added to the index in order.
However, you should still get proper numeric sorting with AZCompactList
and AZList as long as the metadata is purely numeric.
eg "page 23" will sort before "page 3", but "23" will sort after "3".
I just tried with AZlist, on a metadata that had values {2, 3, 4, 5, 33,
42, kath} and it sorted fine.
Regards,
Katherine

Thanks John,
I redid all of my classifiers to use the AZCompactList and I still get
the same problem. I can get the sort to work properly if I have it sort
by another field which is just numeric and I add a 0 infront of the one
and two digit numbers, the problem here is I have many documents that I
have added and I don't want to have to go through each page to add
another metadata field. Is there a way I have sort my classifier the
way it is sorted when doing a boolean search?

Hi Michael,
I was happy to see the new release of Greenstone has solved some of
the sorting issues that I was having with my collections. However,
there is still one problem with the AZCompactSection classifier
sort. It is sorting my page numbers, but not in numeric order. For
example, pages for one entry in a classifier looks like this: 2, 3,
32, 4, 5, 6.
I have noticed that when I do a boolean ('all') search for the same
entry it is sorted numerically, ie. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 32. From this I
gather that Greenstone has the capabilities to do a proper
alphanumeric sort. How can I get this sort working for my classifiers.
Some classifiers, such as AZList and AZCompactList check if values
are numeric and if so does a numeric comparison on them, otherwise
do an alphabetic sort on them.
I don't think the AZCompactSectionList classifier is really properly
supported anymore... the AZCompactList classifier supports doing
sections with the "-doclevel section" option. I think the
AZCompactSectionList classifier was accidentally created instead of
adding a bugfix to the AZCompactList classifier.
