Heather <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #4 from Heather <[email protected]> --- We're on 21.05, and the item search is the *only* place where Library of Congress call numbers are sorting correctly. I'm a little confused about your example, too--are the call numbers in your example Library of Congress call numbers, or call numbers in a different classification system? Library of Congress call numbers' initial alpha-numeric sequence are decimals after the period, so there wouldn't be a call number, "QA76.760" because this is the same as "QA76.76"--Library of Congress call numbers never end with a zero after the decimal. If it were a call number used locally, this sorting is correct: > Call Numbers in Item search results seem to be sorted ALPHABETICALLY, so > currently it is displayed: > QA76.76 > QA76.760 > QA76.77 The filing rule for this, if I remember correctly, is covered in the Library of Congress Filing Rules, illustrated by this example, where the absence of a character comes before the presence of a character--that is, "nothing comes before something:" A is for anatomy A4D desert speed run So this isn't correct, for Library of Congress call numbers: > where the results should be shown in the following order: > QA76.76 > QA76.77 > QA76.760 Because "point seven six zero" is less than "point seven seven." But if these aren't Library of Congress call numbers, then the sorting would be different? The LC Filing Rules say, "Arrange numerals after a decimal point digit by digit, one place at a time." So, also, ".760" can't come after ".77," if you're arranging digit-by-digit, one place at a time.
