---------------------------------

Thanks, helix84, for your prompt response. But what you suggested are more 
complicated and time-consuming to implement.

Importing bitstreams won't be an issue. Once they are in DSpace, I can define 
which one is the primary bitstream and sort according to our needs. The primary 
bitstream is meant to tell DSpace where to start shorting. Or I don't have to 
define the primary bitstream at all and just sort by the file name.

The key is to have a sorting function for bitstreams within an item. That will 
allow all our staff to handle the bitstream sorting, rather than relying on a 
couple of people whole knows sql.

> In 3.x, there is a function to move bitstreams up or down within an item. 
> However, it is a manual process, one at a time. We are adding lots of 
> newspaper issues to items, not in a particular order at a given time, 
> whenever files are available from the scanning stations.
> It would be really helpful if we can select a primary bitstream in an item 
> and then be able to sort all the bitstreams there in the ascending or 
> descending order by the file name.
> Could that be an enhancement for the future release?
