Re: [VuFind-General] limiter order within facets

[Mark N. <mdn...@gm...>]

Hi Karla,
It is possible to apply custom sorting to terms within a facet, but it 
works best if you have a limited number of terms available.  For 
examples of custom formatting you can see what we did at Marmot 
<http://opac.marmot.org/vufind/Union/Search?searchSource=local&lookfor=harry+potter&basicType=Keyword&genealogyType=GenealogyKeyword&submit=Find>for 
the Library System, Branch, and Added In The Last facets (you may want 
to look at the Mesa County Libraries 
<http://mesa.opac.marmot.org/vufind/Union/Search?searchSource=local&lookfor=harry+potter&basicType=Keyword&genealogyType=GenealogyKeyword&submit=Find> 
display since that has alphabetic sorting of the branches).  Each of 
these facets has custom sorting applied to it.
