--- Comment #1 from Eric Phetteplace <ephetteplace at cca.edu> ---
This is particularly a problem with serials with a large quantity of items
attached to a single bib record: the default sort is by item type, which isn't
too helpful, but also sorting on almost *any* column results in a pretty random
listing. For instance, sorting on the issues column results in a lexical sort
like this:

v. 1 1999
v. 10 2009
v. 11 2010

etc., the issue strings are ordered lexically. The more appropriate ordering
would be to sort by volume number first and then the issue number. Or—as Nicole
implied in her original comment—add an additional item record field for how
it's to be sorted in the holdings table, so we could at least manually add an
appropriate ordering.
