[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Relevancy as Sort Default

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi Scott,

I'm am not aware of a way you can currently change the default sort. If 
the sort dropdown were available on the basic search screen, you could 
set the default by adding a parameter to your URL that sets the sort to 
another method. I guess it would be possible to either add the sort 
dropdown there or maybe a hidden field that sets to sort to the other 
method.

However, when https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1549505 is added 
to Evergreen (hopefully in 2.11) there will be a new global flag that 
sets the default sort for the catalog. The flag will not, however, have 
the ability to set a different default for individual org units.

Kathy
