Re: [IUG] sorting reading history, etc.

["Inna Ivers" <iivers at clamsnet dot org>]

The sorting script works like magic - Mike, thank you for sharing it!
Our staff is trying it out on our staging port and they have raised one
concern: 
"Cool--works very well although the cursor doesn't actually change--that is,
I clicked on the heading and it sorted but I knew what to expect--we will
probably have to give people a little instruction about it so they know that
the sort will take place even though the cursor doesn't change."
My question is whether there is a way to have a mouse over effect with
possibly an alt tag of "sort"
My knowledge of JavaScript is very limited, so I'm not sure how to do this
myself.
Thank you again,

Hi,
	Mike thanks so much for posting javascript file and
instructions.  We have this set up on staging and have sent a note to
staff to look at this.  We have only recently added reading history so
it is great to be able to make it sortable since we've already had at
least one patron asking if you can sort your reading history.

Hi Mike,

We're also using the sorttable script in our recently completed
redesign. Were you able to get it to work with the Preferred Search
display? My experience was that the search type headings (AUTHORS,
KEYWORDS, etc.) were creating extra table rows that broke the script. I
couldn't pin down how to resolve the problem, though, so I ended up not
using sorttable for Preferred Searches.

Also, did you find a way to ignore initial articles in the Title column?
