While I was at it. Has anyone solved the issue about the sort order, with 
authors (or subjects I suppose), that contain diacritics. At this link: 
http://www.territorystories.nt.gov.au/browse?order=ASC&rpp=20&sort_by=-1&etal=-1&offset=5823&type=author

 

We have the authors:

Muston, C.

Mutch, Verdun Joseph.

Müller, D.

Myeni, Annie D.

Myerscough, Mark.

 

 

But our cataloguers expect for the author "Müller, D." to be between the 
authors:

 

Mull, A. E. E.

 

and 

 

Muller, W.J.

 

 

I've had a look at the source, and if I'm reading it correctly, the 
OrderFormatAuthor is the file that controls this, and when it calls 
DecomposeDiacitics, it changes this author to "mu(diacritic)ller, w.j." I'm 
assuming that because it places the diacritic after the u, that is why this 
author is sorting after all the authors that begin with Mu.

 

To make this long story short, is there a way to make the sort, ignore 
diacritics completely, and just order by the character.

 

 

Thanks

Jennifer

Just resending, as I did not get any replies.

 

 

A question about browsing in 1.5.2 XMLUI

 

On our test instance, we have upgraded from 1.5.1, to 1.5.2 (using manakin), 
and we have an author with the name "Müller, D." However, when you go to view 
the browse list of the items of this author, the url is 
browse?value=Müller%2C+D.&type=author, but the page says 

Browsing by Author "Müller, D."

and shows no items.

Reading through the changelist for 1.5.2, my understanding was that this 
http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-132 fixed this problem(?). Another issue 
(http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-130), says that you need to remove the 
URIEncoding="UTF-8" from the tomcat settings. This setting is currently on for 
us.

In 1.5.2, do you still need to remove this from the tomcat settings (although 
the manual states that when installing, you need to make sure this is added to 
the tomcat settings), or am I missing something. Also, the web.xml file does 
have cocoon filter in it.

If it makes any difference, the request header for the browse page of this 
author is

Accept-Charset   ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7

and the response header is

Content-Type    text/html;charset=utf-8

 

Thanks
