OPAC Column sorting - leading articles are not rendered in smaller font

[Mary Jinglewski]

In Evergreen 2.9 - rc, the release notes (2.6.2. Column sorting in circulation screens) describe a new sorting feature with in the My Account section for Items Checked Out, Check Out History, and Holds screens: "Title sorting is done with the so-called ‘filing’ characters (leading “the”, “a”, “an”, and other langugage equivalents) removed. The leading articles are rendered in a smaller font, so as to keep the main entry prominent."

There is no problem with the title sorting as described above. However, the leading articles - assumed to be the same "the," "a," "and," etc. at the beginning of a title - are not rendered in a smaller font. Please see the attached screenshot of Items Checked Out with items sorted by title that was taken within the EG Community server.

I think that this is a CSS error. It looks like there is an extra closing curly bracket before the .sort_ that disables that entry. Remove it and the non filing characters are de-emphasized as intended.

It shows up as an error when I run it through csslint.net. I wonder if running all the generated css files through a css checker would be a good test to add?

I plan to test this on bug squashing day.

[Jeanette Lundgren (jlundgren)]

I have tested this in Current Items Checked Out, Check Out History, and Items on Hold. Leading articles are displayed in a smaller font. Specifically I tested, A, The, Le, La, Les.

I have tested this code and consent to signing off on it with my name, Jeanette Lundgren and my email <email address hidden>.
