[EP-tech] Re: sort order of contributors.Contribution for other languages

Hi Adam and Gilles,

Could any of you elaborate a bit more on your suggestions?
@Adam: When you say I'll need to create an input rendered, can you be a bit more precise? (or can you propose an outline of what should be done using which API calls).
@Gilles: Your idea sounds nice. What static part should I change in order to make it work? (eg default.xml?) 

Thanks both for your help!

Hi,

Just an idea.
Why not sort the options with a bit of javascript ? It could be easier.

Hi George

	I believe the order is dependant on the order of the options in the configuration.  That is to say, EPrints doesn't sort these, it just lists them as they are configured in https://github.com/eprints/eprints/blob/3.3/lib/defaultcfg/namedsets/contributor_type

	I'm afraid that to sort them, you'll need to create an input rendered :(

Hi all,

In a multilingual EPrints installation, in contributor's fields, the
Contribution drop-down field displays the various entries in English,
sorted alphabetically. But when the language is changed, the same sort
order is kept, which does not help at all in other languages, since the
number of entries in the menu is quite large. Is there a way of
re-sorting them in the other languages as well?

Thanks all in advance,

George.
