Ordering post lists does not work

[Sebastian Böttger]

clicking on the sort criterion and order in the gear popup

• does not keep the sort criterion url parameter when changing the order or vice versa
• does not give the items in correct order, even when using the "correct" url (bookmarks are not ordered by date on the myBibSonomy page)

[Robert Jäschke]

I tried to reproduce the problem:

1. Go to http://www.bibsonomy.org/user/jaeschke/myown
2. Select title as sort criterion (URL changes to http://www.bibsonomy.org/user/jaeschke/myown?sortPage=title)
3. Select descending as sort order (URL changes to http://www.bibsonomy.org/user/jaeschke/myown?sortPage=title&sortPageOrder=desc)
4. Select date as sort criterion (URL changes to http://www.bibsonomy.org/user/jaeschke/myown?sortPage=date&sortPageOrder=desc)

So I could not reproduce the first problem. I also checked my bookmarks and they seem to be sorted correctly.

Could you please describe the issue more verbosely such that we can trace it?

[Thomas Niebler]

I can reproduce that exact problem described by Sebastian when looking at the front page (http://www.bibsonomy.org).

[Robert Jäschke]

The front page can not be sorted (it doesn't really make sense), thus (at least for that page) the bug description should be changed to: disable sorting options in GUI for front page.

Is it possible to sort using the bibsonomy API, too?

Like: http://www.bibsonomy.org/api/posts?user=itv&format=json&resourcetype=bibtex&?sort=author

This would be great.

[Thomas Niebler]

The issue is now to be resolved in the following way: We add an optional field to the gearwheel-tagx, which (by default) enables or explicitly disables the sorting section in the popup menu.

The sorting in the API is handled in another issue.

resolved using an optional jsp-directive-attribute.
