Anybody have any objections to us removing Sort By? (See below)

Subject: [Using Sakai] Citation list queries


We've just had a query from our user (!) about the sorting options that are offered when building a reading list.



If you select "Reorder" from the "Citations Actions" menu then you can drag and drop the items  into a custom order. This is the order that the students will see.



What I'm not sure about is the RHS box where you change the ordering on screen



1/ sort by first author doesn't seem to do anything (and is always displayed onscreen)



2/ "sort by position" is awful terminology but basically means use the order defined by the "reading list owner"



3/ Sort by published year / title seem to work but



4/ what does Save Sort do? Regardless of any setting / sorts saved, the student always seems to see the list in order of "position".



I would propose that the whole RHS "Sort By" option is removed. Does anybody have an opinion on this?
