Sorting publications

In PUMA, there are several pages where bookmarks and publications are displayed in two columns (e.g. on the homepage or on a user's page). On these pages, you are able to sort the bookmarks and publications.

Simple sorting

For simple sorting, just click on the sorting symbol, an arrow next to four bars, in the respective column. Now the options for sorting are listed.

criterion: You can sort entries by date or by title (alphabetically).
order: Choose between ascending order (oldest date - recent date or A - Z, respectively) or descending order (recent date - oldest date or Z - A, respectively).

Advanced sorting
