Sort Projects by Recency

[mkgold]

Feature Description

On the "All Projects" page of a Manifold installation, the sort options currenttly only allow projects to be sorted A-Z or Z-A. It would be useful to be able to sort projects in a few other ways:

• by the most recently active
• by the most recently created

Why is this feature important? Who does it help?

On a large installation like the CUNY installation, it can be difficult to find projects. Giving users additional sorting mechanisms would help them find new projects more easily.

User Stories

I'm the admin of a large installation of a large public university that uses Manifold for a range of purposes. The other day, I heard about a new Manifold publication that sounded very exciting, but I've forgotten its name. When I go to the "All Projects" page, there are 227 projects. Since I don't know the title of the project, the existing sorting mechanisms don't help very much. If I were able to sort projects by date of creation or most recently active, however, I'd be able to find that project quickly,.
