Sort Portfolios by title / make portfolios searchable
We would like the ability to sort portfolios by title within an electronic collection display in Alma. Right now, when you click on portfolio list within an electronic collection, there seems to be no discernible order; you also cannot search for titles within a portfolio list. We would like to make it easier to locate a particular portfolio within a collection particularly for selective packages.
New facets, additional sorting options, filters, and display options were added for portfolio-level search results.
For more information please see Alma December Release Notes

We also need a way to sort portfolios by author, by title, and perhaps some other logical order (perhaps by publisher? by year?) within itemized sets.

i was hoping to find a solution and not just seeing that it is in the planned stage. this is something so basic that it should have be done at the beginning and not only 2 and a half years after someone first posted the request!

It would make sense to be able to sort the titles in alphabetical order.

There are a couple of ways to sort/search for portfolios within an electronic collection by title. See screencasts below.

No votes available at present, but I agree!

It does seem like a programming oversight or maybe a bug that a results list of any kind (in this case, portfolios) would be presented in no discernable or useful order, and that there would be no option to sort this list into some usable order, or to easily find an entry in the list.
