More on the Philosophic Exchange

Thanks for your patience while we worked on this. I’m going to go into a little more detail than usual because I think you will understand and because I think it will help us going forward. Bottom line, however, is that I’ve managed to fix the issues that are in reverse order and am still working through the best way to fix the ones that appear in random order. For the longer version, see below:
I got a little backstory on this journal from Jessica. It sounds like the original editor wanted “Recent Content” to show on the homepage:
http://digitalcommons.brockport.edu/phil_ex/
In order to do this, the journal had to be sorted in “descending” order by manuscript id. In English, this means that the journal was sorted by the the number that was assigned to the article after publication (ie: the last number in the URL here:
http://digitalcommons.brockport.edu/phil_ex/vol3/iss1/1/) in reverse order (15, 14, 13, etc.)
Because of the order articles published, this led to many of the issues being in reverse order. I have now gone in and changed the articles to sort by “ascending” order by article number. In English, this means that the journal is now sorted in “normal” order (1, 2, 3, etc) and uses the number that is assigned to the manuscript when the article is posted (not published). For example, using that same article, this would be “1122,” the number seen on the PDF:
http://digitalcommons.brockport.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1122&context=phil_ex
If you take a look at Vol3/Iss1 (or any of the other volumes that were reversed), I think they should appear as you would like (you may need to refresh your browser):
http://digitalcommons.brockport.edu/phil_ex/vol3/iss1/

Going forward, this means that you should upload and publish in the order you would like the articles to appear, whether in a batch spreadsheet or uploading individually. I believe this is a change from previously, when you were uploading in reverse order.
