Dearest Information Librarians (and assorted verifiers),

The UCPRd has been ‘upgraded’ to allow you to sort an author’s outputs by content type. So if you’re looking at ‘all outputs’ for an author (in the normal view, rather than in the Library verification mode), be aware that the default listing is no longer alphabetical by year, as was previously the case. If, like me, you find that a bit of a pain, you can change the way the list is displayed by setting the rankings of all content types to ‘1’. Click on the ‘Show Output Options’ link to customise your display settings. The screenshot below shows the settings that allow you to view all outputs by year in strictly alphabetical order.

Note that in the Library Verification view, lists of outputs by author are not alphabetical – they too are ranked in order of scholarly importance (i.e. journal articles before conference papers, etc.). As far as I can tell, it’s not possible to change the sort order in the Library Verification view (but please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong).

Cheers,

Grant.
