[IUG] Switching between relevance, title, author ranking in WebPacPro

["Leng-Ward, Graeme" <G dot Leng-Ward at warwick dot ac dot uk>]

I never thought it was possible to easily switch between relevance, title and date ranked displays of keyword search results in WebpacPro. I thought that to get out of relevance ranking you had to put double quotes around one of the words or do an advanced search.

However on looking at the WebPacPro catalogues of Dartmouth College and Bowling Green State University today I see you can in fact easily switch between ranking displays in their catalogs. When you do a keyword search you get at the top of your list of hits, for example:

88 results found. sorted by relevance | date | title

relevance | date | title are hyperlinks that enable you to just switch easily between these different rankings. So it is easy to jump out of relevance ranking, and back into it.

I have looked at about 15 other WebPacPro catalogs and such functionality is not present in any other catalogs that I have seen.
Is this new functionality that has just been developed?
How have Dartmouth and Bowling Green done this?

Regards for the New Year,
Graeme
