Hi Johanna,

We often see analytics for 'bound' volumes of serials, which can have differing
copy dates. We also have libraries with individual articles in serials
cataloged, so the title and author can vary and these values are how they have
requested sorting.

Biblionumber is a great addition, I simply cannot make it work in zebra other
than the default ascending search.

I do think we want to handle the sorting in the search engine, rather than our
code, so I have moved the addition of biblionumber sorting to bug 30879. I
think we can move this one forward, and then continue the work there?

-Nick
