"Browse exhibits" view lacks the ability to sort chronologically #26

Cathy: "What might be cool is if we had a chronological filter, or some other way to lump exhibits so that the user could click 1920s and get all the exhibits that include that time. If we are adding 15 exhibits each time the course is taught we need some way to enable searching so that users don’t have to page through multiple contents listings to get a sense of what is here."

Tags could work perfectly for this, I think.

I will go in and edit the tags to see if this will do the trick. I'd still like the option to search them in a way to say that I want 19th century and women for example, and I don't think tags allow for that.

I edited the tags on the existing exhibits and it is a cleaner looking tag browse (http://aphdigital.org/GVH/exhibits/tags) I think that it might be nice to see both the tag view (in a side panel) and the main view of the exhibits when you go to the main exhibit page. I set up some general rules and legal tags for future use (http://creatingdigitalhistory.wikidot.com/exhibittag)

Since this looks like it's working, at least as a workaround, I'll relabel this as "wishlist."

I think that probably is a good plan. The importance of having a chronological access kind of rests on how well we can design the page that lists a lot of exhibits on one page, so that the people whose exhibits don't make the first page have a chance to get seen.
