           Summary: Editing a record moves field 999 to first in the
                    marcxml

1) Import or create a new record.
2) Examine the marcxml of that record in the database - the fields are in the
correct numerical order.
3) Edit the record - no need to change any data, just save it.
4) Examine the marcxml in the database - the 999 field is now right after
leader and before 001.

This is due to TransformHtmlToMarc in C4/Biblio.pm, specifically the $param eq
'biblionumber' case, which pushes the param in the array first, and then the
sub uses $record->append_field()

Perhaps the array should be sorted by field tag before appending the fields?

AFAIK, this doesn't really show up anywhere in Koha, but if you ever edit the
records via a script using MARC::Record, new fields cannot be easily inserted
into correct position.
