Improve new sort in collection discovery
As of Nov 2019, we can sort a collection in collection discovery by "relevance" which seems to be arbitrarily applied and title.
- There should be the same sort options (as the main Primo results):
- Date (newest)
- Date (oldest)
Author
Institutions should be able to apply a default of choice
Institutions should be able to remove a sort option

Thank you for this suggestion. you can find now with Primo August release notes and Primo VE July release notes more details on the new sort options with also an option to set per collection the default sort.

I have added a new idea for further improving the collection results sorting: sorting by newest acquisitions. We would find this useful to showcase new acquisitions in our library per subject area.
If anyone else would find this useful, please consider giving it a vote:

Like! please consider giving the institution an option to choose the default sort option for its collections, as the option "Relevancy" is meaningless when there is no search query.

I agree. Colleagues have been asking about date sorting while setting up some collections to showcase the ingestion of a new library.
