I think we go way beyond 852 in a lot of areas - which is also the problem:
There are no more free subfields in Koha to use for this. And if you have
repated $u you also get the issue of sequence. Btw - if we used MFHD (MARC for
Holdings Data, we could have a full 856 there, so it's not really a limitation
of the standard).

The item editor is not made to resort the item subfields and I also feel like
that would not be a good solution and more error prone / harder to handle for
catalogers.
