Hi!

Some MARC21 tag groups are entered (and should be displayed) in tag order, but
some aren't.  The note fields (5XX) in serials/continuing resources records
should be entered and displayed in tag order if one is cataloging according to
the Library of Congress' CONSER program, but the other formats' notes' tags are
usually entered and displayed in the order of relationship to the description
(i.e., notes relating to title(s), then statements of responsibility, then
publication, then physical description, etc.)  Subject fields (6XX) are entered
and should be displayed in order of coverage in the title, so the first 6XX
field is what the work is mostly about, the next is what the work is less
about, etc.

So although many of the tags are entered and should be displayed in numerical
order, not all of them should be.  So in the example below, the notes should be
entered and displayed in this order:
511
508
773 (this relates to publication, i.e., 260 or 264)
505
586
583

It does make sense that the order seems random to non-catalogers, but it
follows the order of the description--of relationship to the other fields (1XX,
2XX, 3XX, etc.)--with the final note(s) about the institution/repository.

Of course, this is probably not true for institutions cataloging in MARC21
according to different cataloging rules!

Cheerio,
h2
