For authority records list, the default "Sort by" value should be "Authorized form of Name" and the other options in the drop-down should/could be Type of entity, Identifier, Dates of Existence". One issue with Identifier though is that is only applicable to corporate bodies. Also, for authority records the "Dates of existence" are a string value (we don't have a start and end date like we do for archival descriptions) so sorting may not work exactly as expected depending on those free text values.

RE: identifier sort - ISAAR-CPF 5.4.1 is authority record identifier, which applies to all entity types. Unlike most other ICA standards this field appears in the Control Area, rather than the identity area. You're right that ISAAR-CPF 5.1.6 appears in the Identity area and only applies to Corporate bodies, but I would suggest we sort by 5.4.1 instead.

Agree that sorting by free-text dates of existence is not a good idea.

Is there another field instead of Dates of Existence that might be worthwhile to sort on instead? Or should we limit the authority record list sort to Authorized Form of Name, Type of Entity, and (5.4.1) Authority record identifier?

Note: Related description/authority functionality should work with subjects and places.

I think excluding a date sort sounds fine. Ideally we would also have a modification date sort, as we do on other browse pages (so staff especially can sort results by most recently created or modified)

PR: https://github.com/artefactual/atom/pull/1091

Scenario: A user selects a Term view or browse page
Given: A user with edit privileges has linked Authority records to Term records

When: I select a Term browse page (e.g. Subjects)
[✓] Then: One column in the results table will indicate how many Archival descriptions this Term record is linked to
[✓] And: Another column in the results table will indicate how many Authority records this Term record is linked to

When: I select the Term view page
[✓] Then: A tab appears for linked Archival descriptions and another tab for linked Authority records
[✓] And: Each tab indicates a count of how many records are linked to this Term record
[✓] And: Clicking on the Authority records tab will list all the Authority records that this Term record is linked to

NEW (see thread above)
Given: I select the Term view page and click on the Authority records tab
And: A list of all the Authority records that this term is linked appears
When: I select "Sort by" drop-down option
[✓] Then: I can sort the Authority records list by Authorized Form of Name, Date modified, or Authority Record Identifier
[✓] And: I can choose an ascending or descending order

When: I click on a term that is displayed in the authority record view page
[x] Then: I am taken to the Term view page with the tab that lists and provides a count of all the authority records liked to that term

QA ISSUE: Clicking on a term that is displayed in the Authority Record view page takes you to the Term view page for the Archival Description tab rather than the second tab listing all the Authority records that are linked to this term.

Regarding note 14... is this the term links shown on the left part of the screen (under the "Treeview", "List", and "Search" tabs)?
