Description Fiona Borthwick 2020-06-09 15:54:07 UTC
This issue has been raised by our customers following an upgrade to 19.11 but I can still reproduce at 20.05.

It is also apparent on both the OPAC and the staff interface.

Search the catalogue and see the results page. Facets on the left appear in one order.
Repeat the same search immediately and the facets appear in a different order.

There is no consistency to this random order.

For example - search one:

Holding Libraries
Series
Topics
Authors
Item types
Places 
Locations

Search two:

Holding Libraries
Topics
Item types
Series
Authors
Places
Locations

Each search we carry out seems to yield different facet orders.

Whilst possibly cosmetic, our customers would like to see consistency - especially for the OPAC as it can cause confusion for end users.

We have toggled use_zebra_facets between 0 and 1 in koha-conf.xml but makes no difference.

Testing on a live server at 18.11, we can confirm that the order the facets appear remains consistent.

Bug 25701: (bug 14419 follow-up) Always display facet groups in the same order

It seems that this regression comes from bug 14419, but I have not found
a logic reason behind that.
This patch restores the behaviour we always had: facet groups must be
displayed in a given order: the Zebra index (au, ccode, holdingbranch,
etc.)

Test plan:
Apply this patch, restart all and confirm that the facets are not moving
up and down when you refresh your search result page.

QA note:
I think the following line must be removed
@facets_loop = sort {defined $a->{expand} && defined $b->{expand} && $a->{expand} cmp $b->{expand}} @facets_loop;

Afaict the line you change in the patch never worked, we always relied on the secondary sort line you mention above.

I removed the 'expand' field in my patches on 14419 set which broke the second (actual) sort

I agree we should remove this line and fix the first sort

Nick, did you understand why your patches break the sort?

Because I removed the 'expand' field - that was the sort that actually sorted.

That initial sort did nothing. See bug 3580
