Sort option customization for search results

This section explains the properties of an individual SortConfiguration, like sortTitle and sortDateIssued from the default configuration. In order to create custom sort options, you can either modify specific properties of those that already exist or create a totally new one from scratch.

Here's what the sortTitle SortConfiguration looks like:

<bean id="sortTitle" class="org.dspace.discovery.configuration.DiscoverySortConfiguration">
        <property name="metadataField" value="dc.title"/>
        <property name="type" value="text"/>
 </bean>

The id & class attributes are mandatory for this type of bean. The properties that it contains are discussed below.

• metadataField (Required): The metadata field indicating the sort values
• defaultSort (Optional): A boolean indicating which sort filter should be the default one.
• type (optional): the type of the sort option can either be date or text, if none is defined text will be used.
