Unfortunately, no. There is no specific sort key set when the bitstreams are resolved in the database (i.e. Bundler.getBistreams()) so the ordering is always based on the database and can change unpredictably as bitstreams are added/removed and when the database upgraded. We've had discussions about assigning a sort key, but nothing came out of this yet.
One possibility would be to add sorting into the taglibrary such that the bitstreams were placed into an intermediate datastructure like a TreeMap and key'ed on the column the user selected to sort on. Then a configuration parameter could be added to control what the default sort column was. -Mark On May 21, 2007, at 2:07 AM, Andrew White wrote: > Dear All, > > After editing some item metadata and a file description through > dspace-admin, the order in > which the files (bitstreams) are displayed (on both the simple and > full item record displays) > has inexplicably changed. > > I can't see a way to re-order the display of the files - is there a > way? > > (using DSpace 1.4.1) > > Thanks, > ________________________________________________________ > Andrew White > Information Technology Librarian [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Lincoln University Library http://www.lincoln.ac.nz/libr/ > P.O.
