How can we improve Primo?

Change order of holdings for e-journals in ViewIt

Allow the institution to determine the ordering of resources in the ViewIt section of Primo. The single select options would include:
• By Date – Ascending
• By Date – Descending
• Alphabetical
• (Not sure if there are others)

Currently e-journal titles with multiple holdings are displayed in alphabetical order. When each holding has a different date range, it can be difficult to scan quickly. This would allow each institution to select what works best for their users.

    One complication is, when date ranges overlap, whether they should be sorted by the start date or the end date. My instinct is that this would depend on whether the date is ascending or descending, eg:

    Sort by start date ascending:
    Holding A 1990 - 2010
    Holding B 1995 - 2000
    Holding C 2005 - present (ie 2022)

    Sort by end date descending
    Holding C 2005 - present (ie 2022)
    Holding A 1990 - 2010
    Holding B 1995 - 2000

    Would others agree?
