page by sort order #83

Reflect the user selected sort order date/title in the paging function:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/categories/documentaries/all?sort=dateavailable
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/categories/documentaries/all?sort=atoz

and highlights

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/categories/documentaries/highlights

The latter are not scraped at all so far and I would like to keep it that way.

As for the first: Why? From my point of view this just adds complexity. This scraping method and the associated sorting method would only work for this special case, nowhere else.

I know it gets complicated. That's why I didn't want to add it. I thought you might like something to keep you busy, seeing as you are tackling the new a-z pages. ;)

The reason I added it is that it might confuse people if they have selected sort by date but the pages come in as a-z.

I didn't even realise the subcategories had highlights until today.

None of this is necessary. Its just icing on the cake.

I certainly don't need anything to keep my busy. I hope that nothing breaks in the next two months as I will be hardly available.

The reason I went for the Channel A-Z was because this was requested by users a long time ago and it was relatively easy to implement with the new pages available now.
