What determines the display order for "Other Editions" in WorldCat Discovery?

Applies to
  • WorldCat Discovery
Answer

 The Explore Editions & Formats sections use, by default, the Library relevancy algorithm for sorting the results. The library sort takes several details into account. Highest on the list is whether the library owns the item, but then it also boosts by date and the number of worldwide holdings.
