Andrew,
I might recommend avoiding using Collections for Issues, mostly
because then your going to end up with "lots" of the them, and that
tends to make the interface both difficult to navigate and maintain.
Another possibility to consider, instead, add the issue detail either
to the Item directly, or possibly create separate Items to hold the
issue metadata (relating them to one another in dc.relation.isPartOf/
hasPart fields).
Thus:
Society = Community
Journal = Collection
Issue and its Errata: Held in "Issue Item"
Article and its Errata: Held in "Article Item"
You might then customize your presentation and search to Group
Articles under Issues.

I am trying to set up a DSpace that models societies, journals,
issues and articles. Each article is an item. The collection that
contains the items is an issue. The journal that publishes the
issue(s) is a sub-community, and the society that publishes the
journal(s) is a community. My question is, how do I make it so that
the collection orders the items the way I want? An issue has a
particular order for the articles because it relates to the physical
printed version. That's the order I want for the collection also. I
think collections are ordered by publish date (please correct me if
I'm wrong about that). That's not good enough for me since an issue
has a single publish date but many articles. This makes the publish
date for all the collection's items the same.
