I am not sure if I understand the issue compeletely, but why would local-number be scary as a number? local-number is usually the biblionumber, right? And if it is, I am in doubt about what Nick says that you could just remap it to 001 - at least I would expect issues with that. I think being able to sort numerical on biblionumber is important so you can use it as a tie breaker as mentioned before, when all other criteria are the some. You you can sort from newer to older. If we don't sort numerical... that meanst 9 999 2 22 1 11 ... something like that? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://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/
