           Summary: MARC editor can change field order

When a record is saved via the MARC bib or authority editor, the MARC fields
are (re)sorted strictly by numeric tag.  This is a problem in MARC21 because
fields such as notes (5xx) and subject headings (6xx) should not be sorted by
tag.  For example, subject headings are listed in order by significance:

650 $aImportant topical heading
600 $aLess important personal name that book is about
610 $aEven less important corporate name

Changing the order of these tags to 600,610,650 is an error.
