For example, if you construct your >record so that subject headings are in the following order: > >650 $aElizabethan theatre >600 $aShakespeare, William > >Then open it up again in the editor, the 600 will be displayed before the 650, >even though the 650 field is stored first in the record.

This raises another question as to how to order the fields when loading a Marc record. Let [1,2,3,4] be the framework structure Let [1,4,2] be the saved record Currently we load on the framework structure order, giving us 1, 2, 3 (empty), 4 This does not respect the saved record order. But if we load according do the saved record order, where should the empty tag (3) go? Should we place it before the saved record's fields or after? Or do some weird half-sorted behavior? before : [3 (empty), 1, 4, 2] after : [1, 4, 2, 3 (empty)] weird : [1, 3 (empty), 4, 2] Let me know if my explanation isn't clear enough. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
