Recent Submissions Sorting Ignores Time Portion

[Nada Mehmoud Ahmed Ibrahim Aboueata]

Hello DSpace Community,

 

I am seeking clarification regarding the Recent Submissions feature in DSpace.

 

We have configured our Recent Submissions in discovery.xml as follows:

<property name="recentSubmissionConfiguration">

    <bean class="org.dspace.discovery.configuration.DiscoveryRecentSubmissionsConfiguration">

        <property name="metadataSortField" value="dc.date.accessioned"/>

        <property name="type" value="date"/>

        <property name="max" value="20"/>

    </bean>

</property>

 

 

However, we observed the following:

- Newest dates appear first, as expected.

- However , Time within the same day is ignored, so items submitted at 09:00 am appears at the top and before items submitted on the same day but at 10:00 am

 

Currently, the oldest time within the same date appears first

 

Could you clarify:

• Is this expected behavior for DSpace?
• How can Recent Submissions be configured to correctly sort by full timestamp (date + time)?

 

Thank you for your guidance.

Hi Nada,

I think we answered this in Slack.  But, just for the record on this mailing list.  It sounded like you are experiencing this in DSpace 6 but we cannot reproduce this in current versions of DSpace (e.g. DSpace 7-9).  So, the best solution may be to schedule an upgrade, especially since DSpace 6 is end-of-life and no longer supported.
