How to force descending year sort order for ccl-search in OPAC?

• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph
• Product Version: 21

Desired Outcome Goal:
When doing a non-ccl search in Opac the sort order in brief list is applying to the settings in variable "setenv www_sort_field" value in $alephe_root/www_server_defaults. When doing a ccl search the default sort in the brief list is differently. How can I setup a default sort for a ccc search result?

Procedure:
When you are doing a CCL search the default search is taken from xxx01/tab/www_tab_short.lng dependent on the field which was searched:
! 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
!-!-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!!!-!!-!!-!!!!-!-!-!!!!!!!!!!-!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!
1 L Author 02---A01---A 00 00 0100 S 9 - ## 1#### 700##

2 L Format S ## TYP## FMT##

3 L Title 03---A01---A 00 00 0100 S ## 245##

4 L Year 01---D02---A 00 00 S ## YR


When you search e.g. for WAU= the line with "Author" is activated and sorting is done by author, year, when you search for WTI= the brief list will be sorted by title, then year.

The relevant fields that will be considered for the sort are defined in xxx01/tab/tab_sort:
!1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 12 13 4 15 16 7 18 9
!!-!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!-!!-!!
