I’m using faceted browse.
I have a custom field, sortingtitle, that I’d like to sort by by default. However, I also have a value facet, author. For whatever reason, when I set the page as such, I get the following sort, which is sorted by Author, then within sorted by sorting title. Any ideas as to why this could be? I’ve included the relevant facet’s configuration as well
I’ll address this in our issue tracker.
Sorry for conflating this post and the GitHub issue.
What’s sortingTitle? Is that from a module? Is it missing a vocabulary prefix (e.g. vocab_prefix:sortingVocab)? Does sorting on that work as you expect on the regular item browse page? Faceted Browse doesn’t do anything beyond what the regular browse page can do.
Sorting title is a term created by the custom ontology module. On the browse page, it sorts by SortingTitle correctly.
Terms typically include the vocabulary prefix and the property local name, e.g. dcterms:title. Is your term missing the prefix?
In your site settings, when setting “Item browse defaults”, select “[Custom sort by]” and enter “rcl:sortingTitle”. Then, in Faceted Browse, you should be able to select “Custom (rcl:sortingTitle)” as the default sort by.
