From ab2e269f9cdd618c1159ff8c5ae1fe25c9cc6f9e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kyle M Hall Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:54:38 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Bug 3521 - Items table in catalogue/detail.pl and cataloguing/additem.pl is sorted nonsensically Based on patch submitted by Ian Walls Items were sorted by branch, then date accessioned, in GetItemsInfo. While this can be helpful in some circumstances, more often it is useful for items to be sorted first by their enumchron (volume/issue, if applicable) then by their copy number. This patch changes the sort on GetItemsInfo to branch, enumcrhon, copynumber then date accessioned. As sorting on copynumber will be incorrect based on standard sorting ( e.g. 1, 10, 2, 20 ), the copynumber is now padded with leading zeros to correct the sorting ( e.g. 01, 02, 10 20 ). This function appears to be a standard SQL function and not a mysql-ism. I have verfified that is available in MySQL, Postgres, and Oracle. --- C4/Items.pm | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/C4/Items.pm b/C4/Items.pm index 0b2f99b..bb6f442 100644 --- a/C4/Items.pm +++ b/C4/Items.pm @@ -1199,7 +1199,7 @@ sub GetItemsInfo { LEFT JOIN biblioitems ON biblioitems.biblioitemnumber = items.biblioitemnumber LEFT JOIN itemtypes ON itemtypes.itemtype = " .
