sort_set

The service re-sorts a specific set of documents according to parameters provided by the user.

X-Service

Version 18 and later

1. LIBRARY – X (5).
2. SET_NUMBER – 9 (6).
3. SORT_CODE_1 – X (2).
4. SORT_ORDER_1 – X (1).
5. SORT_CODE_2 – X (2).
6. SORT_ORDER_2 – X (1).

• Library: The library that includes the set that the user would like to re-sort.
• Set_Number/Set_Num/Set_No: The number of the set to be re-sorted.
• Sort_Code_1: The first sort is based on this code.
• Sort_Order_1: The direction of the first sort (Ascending/Descending).
• Sort_Code_2: The second sort is based on this code.
• Sort_Order_2: The direction of the second sort (Ascending/Descending).

The output XML includes only the session-id if it was completed successfully, since its purpose is to re-sort a set of documents and not to retrieve data.

Example:

The user would like to sort set number 512 (as in Z05, Z110) with the following criteria:

1. First sort -By Title (First code in Tab_Sort in record 03) in ascending order.

2. Second sort – By year (First code in Tab_Sort in record 01) in descending order.

Under library USM01.

The following is the XML output:

<sort-set>
<session-id>QFMAHJN49G63247V9QBVLNFB6617I1DD1HC6MFTMF3KDAKT2HL</session-id>
