DSpace Techies -

We're having a problem with part of the user interface of our main
institutional repository (running dspace 1.7.1).
I'm going to toss out some URLs with examples so that you can (if you like)
follow along in a tangible way.

Here's a step-by-step recreation of the problem:

Browse to: http://smartech.gatech.edu/handle/1853/36700
Perform a search "within this community and its collections:" for
"dellaert".
Change "results/page" to "100" and press (submit the form) "go" (not
necessary, but visually accentuates that records are not reordered in the
next step).
Change "sort items by" from "relevance" to "issue date", press go (submit
the form)

Note here that the order is not affected. Nor is it if you change from
"Ascending" to "Descending" are resubmit the form.

A few more notes:
I've attempted this same search in many communities/collections with
different searches and each "browse by issue date" change fails.
The html form seems to be working properly as the query part of the url
string responds appropriately to any and all changes.
The index is rebuilt through a cron job nightly.
A different instance of dspace on a different server with the same exact
theme behaves correctly (with order being changed per issue date).
Instances with the same theme have been setup fresh from 1.7.2 and 1.7.1
builds and behave correctly.

Our current solution is to rebuild the index from scratch in the wee hours
of the morn' come Sunday. I just wanted to write in to see if anyone had any
suggestions outside of rebuilding the index from scratch, on the case that
Tuesday rolls around and this hasn't fixed the issue.

Any tips, hints, suggestions or relevant resources would be greatly
appreciated!

One other tidbit that might be relevant:
Solr is enabled for this instance but only for statistics.
The Discovery aspect is not enabled.
