New Tabs and Language Options for CBSS Browse page

[wsalesky]

@wlpotter @davidamichelson Did we make any decisions about the browse page? I seem to remember the default being browse by author? Do we need the different language tabs? Anything else?

Please make the following changes to https://dev.syriaca.org/cbss/browse.html

• Remove the "sort" button in the paging buttons
• Add the date slider above the results list (and below the alphabet buttons), and make it work (see issue about date slider not working currently in search results)
• Change "Browse works cited by author" to "Browse Bibliography by Author"
• Make the following changes to the tabs for the script choices
• Add new tabs for

1. Greek (using these letters Α-Ω for the tab) "Α-Ω" is in unicode so please use exactly these, not the latin A
2. Cyrillic (using these letters А-Я for the tab) А-Я is in unicode so please use exactly these, not the latin A
3. Hebrew (using these letters א-ת‎ for the tab) Due to Right to Left (א should display on the right of the dash
4. Armenian (using these letters Ա-Ֆ for the tab)

Please order the tabs horizontally in this order with English on the far left and Syriac on the far right:

A-Z
А-Я
Α-Ω
Ա-Ֆ
א-ת‎
ا-ي
ܐ-ܬ

(I list them vertically here in the issue just so the order is clear, the github text box is freaking out about the list having multiple right to left languages in it).

Next, there are some issues with how the browse results are being filtered or sorted.

It looks like the current alphabetical filter is running on the first name rather than the last name. Can we fix that please? Please use:

Next it looks like the sorting by language is not working as expected. I will create a separate issue for that.

Wow, now the RTL issue won't let me edit the box at all :)

So I am completing my thoughts from above here.

It looks like the current alphabetical filter is running on the first name rather than the last name. Can we fix that please? Please use: /TEI/text/body/biblStruct/analytic/author/surname (first letter of surname text string)

just an fyi on the name sorting, not all the records will have forename and surname; e.g., https://dev.syriaca.org/cbss/35F77WHT. So I think prefer sort by tei:surname, but backup would be sort by tei:name
