Grouping by Branch is pretty solidly required.  Whether that's home or holding
branch is outside the scope of this fix.

I'm not sure location and callnumber are appropriate for sorting; I see that
more as incidental information, rather than 'scanning' information.  When
confronted with a long list of results (which usually happens if there are
multiple volumes or other enumchron data), I would first scan for the
volume/issue I want, then see where to go to get it (location and callnumber). 
I think that's the standard behaviour for patrons, but I could be mistaken.

Nicole, I'm not seeing the problems you are, so I think this must be a data
issue.  Can you compare before and after this patch, and see if things are any
worse for you?  Because I'm getting a definite improvement on my test system,
and if it's not causing any more of a problem, this may be a benign enough
change to push (it's just a modification to the ORDER BY clause, after all)
