Hello
Could some librairians and vendors tell me if they like the way Koha is
sorting facets and facets results, on a UX point of view ?
Currently,
- Results for each facets are sorted alphabeticly.
- I can't explain the way factets (Authors, Title, Topics...) are
sorted, maybe by popularity, but it is not always the same, depending of
the request !
If we look at other catalogues, or non library websites (Amazon...), we
don't see the same behavior.
- Facets sorting does not change in the same catalogue
- Facets results are sorted according to popularity (decrescent
occurences), or sometime in a predefined order, sometime both, but never
alphabeticly.
(in amazon.com , Author and Book series are sorted according to
popularity order, but Departement and Format facets in a predefined
order. cf.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=game
in worldcat, Content and Public in a predefined order, and the others
by popularity :
http://www.worldcat.org/search?qt=worldcat_org_all&q=proust )
If you agree, I can make a patch for sorting facets results by
popularity (easy to do) and sorting facets according to a defined order
(more complicated for me but I will try...).
