[Dspace-general] Sort order in hitlist

[Jim Downing]

Hi Peter,

DSpace 1.2 is based on lucene 1.3, which does not support the sorting of
results on anything other than their relevance to the query. It would be
technically possible to support sorting outside lucene, but a pain for
the developers and inefficient for the application.

lucene 1.4 supports sorting natively, and it's likely that the
developers would look at upgrading to lucene1.4 in DSpace 1.3 if hit
list sorting was requested as a feature.

hth,
jim

PS You might find a wider audience for these technical questions if you
posted on the dspace-tech list. See
