Class OrderFormat

java.lang.Object
  org.dspace.sort.OrderFormat

public class OrderFormat
extends Object

Class implementing static helpers for anywhere that interacts with the sort columns (ie. ItemsByAuthor.sort_author, ItemsByTitle.sort_title) This class maps index 'types' to delegates that implement the sort string creation Types can be defined or configured using the plugin manager: plugin.named.org.dspace.sort.OrderFormatDelegate= org.dspace.sort.OrderFormatTitleMarc21=title org.dspace.sort.OrderFormatAuthor=author The following standard types have been defined by default, but can be reconfigured via the plugin manager: author = org.dspace.sort.OrderFormatAuthor title = org.dspace.sort.OrderFormatTitle text = org.dspace.sort.OrderFormatText IMPORTANT - If you change any of the orderings, you need to rebuild the browse sort columns (ie. run 'index-all', or 'dsrun org.dspace.browse.InitializeBrowse')
