Medium priority, because you have to be using institution journals, and
have more than 10 of them, for this to be an issue. Not 10 institution
journal entries, but 10 institution *journals*. Probably a relatively
rare use-case.

Also, there is a workaround. Create a second institution, and then after
you're on the Institution Journals page, use the institution menu to go
to the second institution, then back to the first institution. This will
prime the URL with the institution's real name instead of "1".

** Summary changed:

- Institution blog pagination broken in sites with only 1 institution
+ Institution blog pagination broken when you first visit the Institution Journals page

** Description changed:

  This patch ( https://reviews.mahara.org/#/c/5784/3 ) fixes institution
  blog pagination. But! When you first go to the Administration ->
  Institutions -> Journals, pagination is still broken. This is because on
  first loading the page, we have the query param "institution=1". The
  artefact/blog/index.php page passes this to
  institution_selector_for_page(), which understands "1" to mean "show me
  the default first institution".
  
  But, the paginator JS automatically also takes this "1" from the query
  and passes it to the paginator script artefact/blog/index.json.php. And
- that script doesn't know what to do with it, so it crashes.
+ that script doesn't know what to do with it, so it crashes and says "A
+ required parameter is missing or malformed The 'institution' parameter
+ is not alphabetical only".
