Author list is not sorted #2513

Open fnielsen opened 1 month ago

fnielsen commented 1 month ago

Describe the bug For authors in a work the author list is not sorted when aggregated. This is the case, e.g., on panels on the organization and the work aspects.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to https://scholia.toolforge.org/work/Q125422072
  2. "Finn Årup Nielsen, Lars Kai Hansen, Lenka Tětková, Teresa Karen Scheidt" (which is not the correct author order)

Expected behavior Authors should be in correct order.

Additional context The problem here is that the SPARQL GROUP_CONCAT that we widely use has no ability to sort elements, so it seems very difficult to implement, - if not impossible.

There might be a chance that Blazegraph aggregates in some systematic way.

There is the further issue that unmatched authors are not listed.
