Hi Johnnie, NOBLE implemented "Traditional with Holds Always Go Home" Best-Hold Selection Sort Order systemwide so that items will always travel home if there are any holds for pickup at the owning library.
We actually tweaked it a bit, removing approx and aprox. Since we do not adjust proximity, there's no need to include them. Hope this helps. Michele -- Michele M.
