Using the patron search from mainpage.pl will give one search results that are ordered by surname, then firstname. This is totally logical. However, the same search from members-home.pl ( or any page using patron-search.inc ) has the results sorted by surname only, with the firstname ordering being essentially random ( in reality, the firstname order is the order in which they were entered into the database ). To me, it does not make sense that two default patron searches should give different sets of results.
Created attachment 10785 [details] [review] Bug 8427 - Patron search results not consistent Simple fix, removed the directive to order by surname, and the system now orders by surname, then firstname. Changed the title from 'surname' to 'default'.
I think default is not so nice for translations and also not very clear - maybe we could make it "full name" or "surname, firstname"?

QA comment: tiny patch, passes QA
Maybe saying it's a "normal" bug is a little bit too much. Lowering to "minor", but agreed it's a bug
