Packages display by default in alphabetical order in TMS, so that’s how they’re rendered in most standard eMuseum installations.
You can control the ordering of objects within packages, but when browsing we generally use the default sort instead. As Lindsey said, that’s usually alphabetically
by title but can easily be changed.
Packages can be used in many different ways in eMuseum, and there are multiple options for sorting object results. Please see the screenshots below. If you’re
interested in sorting objects in a collection in eMuseum by their sort order within a TMS package, please contact
eMuseum Support.

Subject: Re: Object Packages in EMuseum
Hello Karen,
In my experience the order in which objects display on eMuseum is not tied to the order within object packages but to the default list view on eMuseum – which
is usually organized in alphabetical order. Other ways of ordering records in list view online have to be set up by the developers (numerical by object number, by date, by some other means, etc.).
I don’t know if this is how it is for everyone but that’s how it seems to work for us in our current version of our online database.
Best,
Lindsey

Subject: Object Packages in EMuseum
Hi All,
We are new to emuseum and have various object packages that will be published on our site. Currently the object packages all display, however, the order in which we would like the specific objects to appear is not displayed when the package
is published in emuseum. The objects within the object packages have been reordered correctly within the object packages and saved, however they still do not appear in emuseum in the same order. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if there
might be a remedy for it?
Thanks,
Karen
