[Evergreen-catalogers] Sorting by publication date in 264 field

[Teri-Lynn Janveau]

Hi Mike,

Our records do have dates in the Date1 fixed field, so that's not the problem. I'm not sure if the record attribute definition has been changed. I will look into that with our system administrator.

Thank you!

Teri-Lynn

Hi Teri-Lynn,

The default source for publication date sort order values is the Date1 fixed field.  Are your RDA records lacking data in that field, or have you changed the record attribute definition for "Pub Date"?

Regards,
