Classifier plugin for sorting by date. By default, sorts by 'Date' metadata. Dates are assumed to be in the form yyyymmdd or yyyy-mm-dd.
The following table lists all of the configuration options available for DateList.
| Option | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| DateList Options | ||
| metadata | (REQUIRED) The metadata that contains the dates to classify by. The format is expected to be yyyymmdd or yyyy-mm-dd. Can be a comma separated list, in which case the first date found will be used. | Default: Date |
| sort | An extra metadata field to sort by in the case where two documents have the same date. | |
| reverse_sort | Sort the documents in reverse chronological order (newest first). | |
| bymonth | Classify by year and month instead of only year. | |
| nogroup | Make each year an individual entry in the horizontal list, instead of spanning years with few entries. (This can also be used with the -bymonth option to make each month a separate entry instead of merging). | |
| no_special_formatting | Don't display Year and Month information in the document list. | |
| Options Inherited from BaseClassifier | ||
| buttonname | The label for the classifier screen and button in navigation bar. The default is the metadata element specified with -metadata. | |
| no_metadata_formatting | Don't do any automatic metadata formatting (for sorting.) | |
| builddir | Where to put the built indexes. | |
| outhandle | The file handle to write output to. | Default: STDERR |
| verbosity | Controls the quantity of output. 0=none, 3=lots. | Default: 2 |
