Re: [EP-tech] adding a new node to the subject tree

CAUTION: This e-mail originated outside the University of Southampton.
Hi Alan, everyone...  I tried setting the language to English or leaving it blank, that didn't seem to change anything.
I'm happy to report, however, that very soon after I sent my message, I got it to work and sort properly.
What I think did it in the end was that I needed to go up to the parent node, and make sure to click "Save" on that, and the parent of the parent node, and click on "Save" on that.  It got sorted after I did that - but I don't have proof that this is what actually did it.
Bottom line, so this message going into the eprints archive is potentially useful: if you encounter this issue, do try to navigate (using the admin > edit subject interface) back up to parent nodes, and click "Save" on them, even if the change was reported as already saved before at the node you added.

Tomasz

Pure top of the head…

Does the new item or the existing items have any languages flagged? Could it be sorting by language before the render value?

I needed to add a new "division" using the admin -> subject tree.  It is a new node under an existing category that has a bunch of other research centers.  I added this, but the weird thing is that it is not sorting this properly and just shows it at the very end.  Meanwhile, all of the other subject values are sorted properly.  There is no additional "sortvalue" for this subject, just a name.  I've tried to reload the repository and even an apache restart, still missorted.  What do I need to do to get this showing up properly?  will it get sorted after regenerating views? It shows up last on the admin -> edit subject tree interface, and on the deposit interface where users select it, so it doesn't seem like a "views" issue.  It currently doesn't have any deposits associated with it, if that matters.
