[Koha-patches] [PATCH] Bug 3702 add branch description as primary sort for items in staff mode

[Jane Wagner]

The default sort order for items attached to a title in staff mode is
items.dateaccessioned desc.  This means that a particular library's holdings
will be scattered through the list -- a special problem when it comes to serial
issues.  I've done a change to Items.pm that makes the sort order branch
description followed by dateaccessioned.  Thus, a library's holdings will be
grouped together in the display.
