Sort Order of MARC Fields
-
In System Administration there are two settings that affect the sort order of MARC bibliographic records.
-
Automatically sort MARC bibliographic records?
-
Yes - If yes, it will sort according to the MARC Validation Bibliographic table. This is how it is currently set.
-
No - If no, the fields will remain in the same order that they are in. Catalogers need to insert fields in the order they want them to appear. This is what we first started with on Go Live day.

MARC Validation Bibliographic table
-
This table has all of the MARC fields in it. Currently it is in numerical order except for the 5XX tags.
-
This table also controls which fields are validated in the system and which are repeatable.
