[Koha-devel] Sorting alphabetically the subfields in additem

[Marcel de Rooy]

Current 3.0.x code contains the line to sort the subfields:
	@loop_data= sort {$a->{subfield} cmp $b->{subfield}} @loop_data;
In 3.1.x the problem seems to be resolved.

Plesae can someone more familiar with cataloguing look at additem.pl (or
answer from memory) and say why the fields are ordered as they are?

I didn't see how the subfields are "in a random manner", but there are
a couple of random numbers generated by sub generate_subfield_form.

The current ordering might be random, accidental or it might have some
reason (performance, or even a dangerous undeclared dependency) that
the reordering may impact.  Anyone know for sure?

Thanks,
