What do you mean by report? The inventory results should be sorted in call
number order.

I think that you're misunderstanding how the inventory works. Do the inventory
again but don't upload the barcode list this time. It will display the list of
items in itemcallnumber order. This should match how they're shelved in the
real world. When there is a discrepancy between that generated list and the
scanned list, it will highlight the difference. 

I've had a few libraries lately with this same problem and it's because they're
sorting books on the shelves based off how a human understands the call numbers
but it differs from how Koha understands the call numbers. That is, how it
translates itemcallnumber into cn_sort. 

If you investigate the cn_sort for your system in question (and try that method
of creating a list via the inventory that I mention above) I think the data
problem will become clearer to you.

You'll want to check the cn_source as well. This is also why Marcel has
proposed bug 41932, because the way humans and machines sort call numbers is
different unless we apply certain algorithms at the machine level.

Let me know if that was clear as mud...
