How to sort the “Order Information report” from the service “Print Acquisitions Records acq-03”
Yoel Kortick

Introduction• The sorting method employed here are not Ex
Libris inventions nor are they unique to Aleph.• We use here standard xsl sort parameters and
show examples of where this information may be found on the internet.
• We do two different types of sorts here, while the user may build several more local examples.
3
The form• The service “Print Acquisitions Records acq-03” prints
the form order-info-report.• By default there is no option to select the format in the
service
No field to choose format of report
4
The report• The output file by default is not sorted by any of the fields
chosen to print (Not by Sublibrary, Vendor or title)
5
The raw xml• If we look at the raw xml we see that each of the three fields
we printed are called “data-1”, “data-2” and “data-3”.
If we would want to sort the xsl by, for example, vendor code then we would sort it by “data-2”
6
Sorting the xsl• Here is the xsl standard for sorting a report• This is from http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/el_sort.asp
7
The edited xsl form• We add one line to the xsl form with the desired sort field.• In this case we edit the form order-info-report-01.xsl
This is the only line we need to add to the xsl
8
Choosing the new format via the service
• One option is just to have one format number and have every user use it.
• Another more “attractive” option is to make a pull down box in the service to choose the new format which sorts by the second value
• We will now add this option to the service interface
9
The form• The format number option already exists in the service
but by default it is “hidden”
10
The form• Now we have added the option to choose a format.• We removed the “hidden” tags and made a dropdown box..• This is file $aleph_root/pc_b_eng/p-acq-03.xml
11
Running the service• Here we run the service “Print Acquisition Records (acq-03)”
and print fields sub library, vendor code and Title.
Now we can choose format 01
12
The report is sorted
Format 01
Sorted by vendor code
13
Another format• Now we will add format 02 to p-acq-03.xml.• It is for descending order sort for the third parameter (in this
case title)
14
The xsl form• Here is $data_root/form_eng/order-info-report-02.xsl
This format is sorted descending by the third value
15
The xsl form• Now we run the service choosing format 02
16
The descending order report• The output is sorted by the third value (title) descending
Title descending order
