When you see a page with publication/bookmark lists in BibSonomy, you are able to sort them by adding one or more of the following parameters behind the URL. Here's a list of existing parameters:
items - How many items should be displayed?
(For example: ?items=30 will show 30 items.)
Note: If you do not add the item-parameter with a certain number, a default number of maximum 20 items will be shown.
sortPage - How is the list sorted?
sortPageOrder - order of sorting
duplicates
Example:
?sortPage=year&sortPageOrder=asc&duplicates=no
Sort by year (sortPage=year) ascending (sortPageOrder=asc) and remove all duplicates (duplicates=no).
