search: most recent news

[tiborsimko]

The most recent news link is displayed on the home page. It is currently not giving the most recent order, see:

https://opendata-dev.cern.ch/search?q=&f=type%3ANews&l=list&order=asc&p=1&s=10&sort=mostrecent

What we should do is to order the news by the created field that all records have:

$ grep created cernopendata/modules/fixtures/data/docs/*/*.json

Note that this concerns "News" articles only.

I'm a bit confused. The link in the description has order=asc&...sort=mostrecent. If we want the most recent news first, shouldn't it be order=desc ?

[tiborsimko]

I guess "most recent" has a clear meaning and the order=desc bit is not really user selectable in the web interface -- it only appears in the URL. So we can indeed go for either "asc" or "desc", depending on how the indexes are constructed, provided that the search page really gives the latest news first...

Starting from the home page, go to news -> more, it looses the filter of 'News', and make sure that the order is correct
