Faceted Browse - sort order of item sets in a facet

I’m using Omeka S 4.1.1 and Faceted Browse 1.5.1.

I have a facet that is a list of Item Sets. The order in which the Item Sets appear is their creation order (I think) rather than e.g. alphabetical by title. Is there a way of specifying a different order (I’ve looked - apologies if I’ve missed this).

If it is not possible at the moment to set the sort order, might it be possible in the future to use the same order as specified using the ‘Resources → Item Sets’ page for a Site?

Hi @jnainsworth ,

This probably doesn’t help. It just confirms what you’re seeing:

Thanks for the confirmation. That’s looking like a bit of a larger issue than I had hoped!

The code comment there about sorting is a different thing: those sort methods are used for providing the sort options that Faceted Browse offers to users viewing the browse page. In other words, that comment is about sorting the items by item set title (a tricky proposition in general since items can belong to many sets), not about how the item sets are ordered when using them as a facet.

The ordering of the sets as a facet is a separate issue that’s dependent on the kind of interface that’s being used to select them. So it’s still something that requires work to change, but not the kind of work that the excerpted comment might imply.

@jflatnes thanks for the clarification!
