Access to Memory (AtoM)

This feature would alter the AtoM worker configuration so that DIP objects are uploaded in a meaningful order. It will not have any effect on trees that are sorted by Identifier or Title, but for manually sorted trees it will ensure the order of the digital objects is not random. At the moment, it is based on alphabetical order of the preservation objects including the prepended UUID... which is another way of saying "random".

In this order, DIP objects should be ordered:

1. Based on a logical structMap, if it exists.

2. If a logical structMap does not exist, the objects should be ordered based on the div Label, alphabetically.

The div label, unless altered manually, is the filename of the original. This allows users to control the sort order by naming their files using an alpha-numeric convention.

Note that there may be objects in the structMap that do not have an equivalent in the DIP (if for example, the transfer included an access folder). The atom-worker should ignore those objects and only look for filename equivalents, minus the extension, of the objects in the DIP. The user will need to ensure that every access object has a single preservation equivalent.
