OAI results sorted by primary language

Hello people,
I am using OJS3.3.0-6, and in many journals the articles have title, abstract and keywords in Spanish (main) and in English.
When I check the output of the OAI, I see that the order is first English and then Spanish.

I’m using VuFind to harvest the metadata and it only recognizes a single title, grab the first one, same with the abstract, select the first one that both are in English, and I need you to select the one in Spanish.

My question is, how can I reverse the order in the output of the OAI so that the first title is Spanish and not English?

I can’t just tell Vufind to select only Spanish because there are magazines that publish articles in English and that could cause them to be omitted.

Thanks!

Hi all,

If you use View Source to look at the OAI data, you’ll see that the xml:lang attribute distinguishes between the two languages. I think the problem is on the VuFind side of things – they shouldn’t be taking the first value, they should be looking at xml:lang and either picking the relevant value or storing/using both. I don’t believe the order of elements is intended to show priority.
