Retain all Sort by Options

[nkmeyers]

Can we retain all the sort by options in the discovery UI?

They are showing as: relevance, publisher, title

can you restore/implement the date sort options and the ascending/descending options we had previously? We want to avoid losing any functionality Can we still have: publish date (asc or desc) Title (asc or desc) Date Uploaded(asc or desc) Date modified (asc or desc)

@stevenvandervalk I think I got most of the sort fields into solr. If I missed any let me know.

[stevenvandervalk]

@dbrower Ok I haven't meddled much in the solr config in rails but I would :

add e.g. config.add_sort_field 'dc_date_uploaded_dt_sort asc', :label => 'Date Uploaded' Asc

to catalog_controller.

for each of these options.

@dbrower So should I go ahead and edit schema.xml

and add fields to it such as below? Or is that something you should handle elsewhere?

<!-- for sorting text fields -->
  <copyField source="dct_provenance_s"   dest="dct_provenance_sort"/>
  <copyField source="dc_publisher_s"     dest="dc_publisher_sort"/>
  <copyField source="dc_title_s"         dest="dc_title_sort"/>

Yes, feel free to update it. The file is roles/solr/files/schema.xml in the deploy repo.

As far as I know, we are not using the dct_provenance_s field. It is (or should be) blank. Also, the journal might be more interesting than the publisher (it is dc_source_s).

@dbrower Ok based on the previous sorts, the schema and controller code has been added. It seems to perform the correct solr query on vagrant but would like to add to our chat.

@nkmeyers I'm tempted to add icon and tags to show these values next to the thumbnail if people are sorting by them....?

[nkmeyers]

@steven - that'd be awesome - pls go ahead if you have time - great idea
