This allows you to change the order the search results are returned in. The main
purpose why you would want to use this function in this context is to make sure
the list of results is ordered by the year the artworks where published/created.
These functions are helper functions to manage the Meiliseach database from
a Common Lisp perspective. The intention is to work them into the website's
back-end so the user can reset or re-populate the database from the website
without me (or someone else) having to SSH into the VM and do fix/restore things
manually. For now, they allow you to manage the database from SLIME.
This change is so the refinements on the seach page shows the month names
instead of thier numbers. This is because most people tend to work with month
names and not numbers in this context.
I copied most of this over from my personal website's repository. So, there are
bits of code which look a bit out of place in this context. With that said, the
code does run and just needs to be integrated in the defroutes in web.lisp.
