Is there anyway we can get sorting in natural order? Requested by users, here are the emails:: Well here is another sorting question - we have several collections that we want users to cross search. My question is that within the individual collection I was able to ""sort"" the results alphabetically. But once I select the ""cross-collection search"" feature, when you do a search in the ""all"" search mode - the results are not in alpha order. So here lies my problem, is it possible to sort it in alpha order in AND/OR have it group by collection. i.e. Smith, John - Doe, Jane Vital Statistics Collection Smith, John World War I Service Records Smith, Lance - Doe, Jane Vital Statistics Collection Smith, Mark Passenger Manifest Collection Smith, Nancy Passenger Manifest Collection This is basically what we would like users to see in their search for ""Smith"". ---------------------------- I have two collections built on Greenstone, both of them have sortmeta configured, so that the results come out in a reverse order, according to the date. Now I want to be able to cross-search from one to the other, but as soon as I check the cross-collection option and relaunch the library, the results don't come out sorted. ¿Can the two options co-exist?",enhancement,assigned,moderate,Possible 2.88 Release,Greenstone2 Runtime,enhancement,,,
