Description
This script provides a custom service for use in batch jobs or the Aleph GUI. It takes the XML reports output by jobs such as the General Retrieval Form (ret-adm-01) and the Shelf List (item-05) and allows the user to sort these by up to three levels, with a wide variety of fields being available for sorting. It is easy to add extra fields for sorting without modifying the script. The items may also be filtered by publication date or the date they were last returned.
