       (yaz_present(3).

PARAMETERS

	      o $id
		- The connection resource returned by yaz_connect(3).

	      o $criteria
		- A string that takes the form field1 flags1 field2 flags2 where field1 specifies the primary attributes for sort, field2 seconds,
		etc..  The field specifies either a numerical attribute combinations consisting of  type=value	pairs  separated  by  comma  (e.g.
		1=4,2=1)  ;  or  the  field  may specify a plain string criteria (e.g.	title. The flags is a sequence of the following characters
		which may not be separated by any white space.

		     Sort Flags

		     o a - Sort ascending

		     o d - Sort descending

		     o i - Case insensitive sorting

	       To sort on Bib1 attribute title, case insensitive, and ascending you would use the following sort criteria:

	      1=4 ia

	       If the secondary sorting criteria should be author, case sensitive and ascending you would use:

	      1=4 ia 1=1003 sa
