    • Has not been discussed in Hyrax IG recently. Last discussion may have been in November.

  • Hyrax metadata ordering for fields containing multiple values:

    • https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/issues/4781

    • What does the IG think ought to happen within Hyrax by default re: ordering of fields with multiple values? What would be the ideal scenario?

      • Subject, keyword other field types where order might be desired to indicate primary topic

      • Some ordering in place by having one primary creator and others listed as contributor
