Editing Views.pl (section)

===Sections===

When a menu is using "sections", then items on the menu are grouped together. The exact method is defined by defining values for several options. These options go to the ''menus section'' as well.

{|border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0"
|-valign="top"
|grouping_function <sup style="font-weight:bold; font-size:10px;">(M)</sup>
|This function determines how grouping is done. The following predefined functions can be used:
*"EPrints::Update::Views::group_by_a_to_z"
*"EPrints::Update::Views::group_by_first_character" (default)
*"EPrints::Update::Views::group_by_2_characters"
*"EPrints::Update::Views::group_by_3_characters"
*"EPrints::Update::Views::group_by_4_characters"
*"EPrints::Update::Views::group_by_5_characters"
with the usual meaning. If you use 'group_by_a_to_z', all entries not starting with a letter will be discarded.
|-valign="top"
|group_sorting_function <sup style="font-weight:bold; font-size:10px;">(M)</sup>
|A custom function which sorts the group identifiers. The only available function
*"EPrints::Update::Views::default_sort"
sorts alphabetically.
|-valign="top"
|group_range_function <sup style="font-weight:bold; font-size:10px;">(M)</sup>
|Splits the groups (as determined by the grouping function) into sections so that a group never splits. Groups are rendered separately, but a section is kept on a single page. Available grouping functions are
*"Eprints::Update::Views::no_ranges" (default)
*"EPrints::Update::Views::cluster_ranges_<range>"
where <range> is one of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, and 200.
|-valign="top"
|open_first_section <sup style="font-weight:bold; font-size:10px;">(M)</sup>
|if set, the first section is included in the front page.
