--- Comment #12 from Stefan Berndtsson <stefan.berndtsson at ub.gu.se> ---
The main difference for us, and the reason for making the patch in the first
place, is that our sorting is done in each machine based on CT (branchcode) and
AQ (permanent_location).

CT is only set when the item is being sent to another library, so we first sort
on that, and if it is not set, we sort on AQ for different destinations within
the same library.

Using CL is likely a functional way forward for sorting, but it moves the
sorting rules to the server, which is not something that's setup yet, so I
haven't looked into that here.

When we first wrote this patch (in 2018 or so), Koha did not produce CT, so AQ
was all we had. Now that Koha sets CT to homebranch when transferring, the
default behaviour of also setting AQ to the same thing seems a bit redundant.

The SIP name of the AQ field is "permanent location" (FID_PERM_LOCN), although
what that technically means is of course an interpretation.

To me, AQ and CL has two different meanings. One is information on the returned
item (AQ), one is instructions to a machine (CL).
