If Koha isn’t sorting the call number correctly, I think it’s worth raising an issue. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>It seems to me that the on-screen inventory list and the CSV/spreadsheet export inventory list should be identical in how they’re sorted.
