hiya Satyanarayana

i too recently made a sorting change to addbooks.pl
by simply giving SimpleSearch() a better query.


+    my $ti_query =  qq|ti,rt,wrdl,r3="$query"|;
+
      # find results
-    my ( $error, $marcresults, $total_hits ) = SimpleSearch($query,  
$results_per_page * ($page - 1), $results_per_page);
+    my ( $error, $marcresults, $total_hits ) = SimpleSearch 
($ti_query, $results_per_page * ($page - 1), $results_per_page);


this cleaner method is adequate for your addbooks.pl sorting needs,  
surely?
