This ticket has been closed because it is over 3 years old and has a very low priority.

Hmm. This is going to be very awkward for the Codex. Neither of these sort-orders matches what mod-inventory does, which means that it's not generally possible for mod-codex-mux to merge the two sorted lists.

Thoughts, ?

- we do not have any documentation at this time but here are the rules
1 - EBSCO KB supports two sort options: Title Name (in ascending order) and Relevance
2 - Relevance sort has rules to ensure exact match of titles appear first

Sort - title name field is the field used to sort title names

• We do not sort on the title name field, we sort on a field called sort-title name

• That sort title name omits articles (e.g. A, An, The)

Title Sort Display rules

• Titles starting with symbols/characters display first

• Then titles starting with numbers
• Then titles starting with a letter

Hi - yes, sorting of the titles is our problem here, but if you have a document which describe the general sorting mechanism (title, contributor names, etc.), then that's more than perfect. Thanks!

Hey , I will contact someone to provide this information. To confirm, you are only looking for the rules for how EBSCO sort by title name?
