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!
