Hi Sally and others, I'd also be interested in the answer to this question - it seems it's not always the same in our installations and I was wondering where in the code this happens and how it could be changed. Katrin On 05.07.2017 15:41, HEALEY, Sally wrote:
Hi,
We are using Koha 16.11, and Zebra.
We have individual records for different item types - e.g. hardback, paperback, DVD, large print, audiobook etc. A search will return many records with equal ranking, which is correct, as they are all the same title.
When records are ranked equally, they are then sorted by bibilonumber in descending order, with the highest biblionumber (newest) displaying in the results first. For example:
Result Title Type Copies Rank Biblionumber 1 ABC DVD 4 90% 44567 2 ABC LP 2 90% 34689 3 ABC PBK 63 90% 23456 4 ABC HBK 80 90% 12345 5 CDE DVD 11 64% 44235 6 CDE HBK 43 64% 22132
We would like equally ranked records to be sorted by biblionumber ascending, so the oldest items are shown first. This means our hardback/paperbacks would sit at the top of the search results, as these are purchased before multimedia and large print.
Result Title Type Copies Rank Biblionumber 1 ABC HBK 80 90% 12345 2 ABC PBK 63 90% 23456 3 ABC LP 2 90% 34689 4 ABC DVD 4 90% 44567 5 CDE HBK 43 64% 22132 6 CDE DVD 11 64% 44235
Does anyone know if it's possible to achieve this, and how to do so?
Many thanks,
