https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19527 Bug ID: 19527 Summary: Alter Zebra indexing to sort by descending document ID Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 17.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Searching - Zebra Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: r.delahunty@arts.ac.uk We are receiving complaints about the sorting order of relevance ranked searches. One specific example was where the older edition of a work appears higher up the list than the more recent version. According to http://www.indexdata.com/zebra/doc/administration-ranking.html: “If one defines the staticrank:1 directive in the main core Zebra configuration file, the internal document keys used for ordering are augmented by a preceding integer, which contains the static rank of a given document, and the index lists are ordered first by ascending static rank, then by *** ascending *** document ID.” Would it not be better to have the secondary rank in terms of ** descending *** document ID? That way there is much better likelihood that the most recently published version of various editions will appear closer to the top of the OPAC list, and certainly (all else being equal) above the earlier edition(s) of the specific work.
