If the fields in the marcxml are not in order, and LabelMARCView is set to compact, the MARC detail view can show the field headers multiple times. To reproduce: 1) Turn on LabelMARCView 2) Turn on EnableAdvancedCatalogingEditor (Rancor allows entering fields in any order, unlike the old editor) 3) Catalogue a new record with the following fields in this order: 655 _ _ ‡afoo 100 _ _ ‡abar 655 _ _ ‡abaz 650 _ _ ‡aqwerty 655 _ _ ‡aqux 655 _ _ ‡aquux 4) Go to that record's MARC detail view. In the 6xx tab, you will see three separate entries for 655 fields: 655 $a foo 655 $a baz 655 $a qux $a quux How it should look: 655 $a foo $a baz $a qux $a quux
Whoops. Missed the 650 from the example... 4) Go to that record's MARC detail view. In the 6xx tab, you will see three separate entries for 655 fields: 655 $a foo 655 $a baz 650 $a qwerty 655 $a qux $a quux How it should look: 650 $a qwerty 655 $a foo $a baz $a qux $a quux ... I'd argue the fields should be shown in numerical order...
I am not sure if that is always the wanted behavior (to sort and group them). I have learned that sequence in MARC can have a meaning and sometimes people reorder on purpose. Might need some of the MARC21 catalogers to weigh in.

I feel the current display is correct, as it reflects the MARC record exactly. Any changes would likely cause more confusion than being of any help.
