[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Top Container/Location issue

[Trevor Thornton]

Hi Carrie-

In 2.8 the ordering of those results is specified in the preferences, which
you can get to via the dropdown menu on the top right next to your user
name. Preferences can be set globally, by repository or by user (presumably
the more specific ones override the less specific ones but I haven't tested
that).

On the preferences page, look for "Location Browse Columns", and under that
look for "Default Sort Column". Setting that to "relevance" should get the
locations to sort the way you're used to. By default, they sort
alphabetically by name.

-Trevor
