Completed 2025-11-21. Based on our investigation, we are observing that the A-Z sorting function is working as expected. However, there are some finding aids that contain malformed headings, such as whitespace preceding the heading, and multiple headings inadvertently added within the same EAD tag. Our search filter interprets the data as provided in the source finding aid, which may result in headings appearing to interfile out-of-sequence in the A-Z sort.
Issue
In a given set of search results, the options to sort by Title or Creator A-Z do not display the results alphabetically.
Additionally, filterable terms display on the left side of the results. When choosing the “more” option in the terms list, a pop-up list of terms appear; this list also provides an option to “Sort A-Z.” There is a known issue with the facet options: Creators, Names, Places, and Subjects, in which these terms may not display alphabetically for some results sets, when "Sort A-Z" is selected.
