Huh, so the lines you shared seem strange and not what I would have expected, especially: 2 | 720 H74 1979| 720_H74_1979000 For the year to be padded with 0's instead of the first group of numbers (the 720) looks weird. And surely explains a lot about why sorting seems off. I just

Hello Paul, You've pretty much nailed your problem as being the extra decimals before your Cutters. While that's normal for an LC call number, I've looked around and found nothing to make me believe that's common or accepted practice for DDC. That said, as far as I can tell, the standard

Okay, looking more carefully at the sortkey Ben pointed out, you really do have two different problems affecting your sort. Sorry for focusing on the smaller one! Everything I advocated earlier still stands, but in the meantime, we do need to fix the misplaced padding in the 'no decimal but

Erick, I am not a cataloger and I rarely use record match sets, therefore I don't think I can help you. I suspect that for others to be able to help you they would need to know more information of how you are setting up your record match sets. Like what tags you are trying to match on, and any

Dewey cutters shouldn't have decimal points preceding them. Many publics use just the first few letters of the authors name for the cutter and often don't use a year designation when they build a DDC call number. However, just like in LCC, you can generate alpha-numeric cutters using the first

Hello all, With 2.6.0 cut 10 days ago, it is high time for me to give one final update before I pass the torch. I haven't given a formal email progress summary since the beta (though a verbal update was given at the conference), so we'll be looking back at both the RC and the 2.6 final
