---- Reported by nengard@gmail.com 2008-09-26 07:39:20 ---- Can we sort by the 440v? That would be the series number - so I could see the series in order on the search results page. --- Bug imported by chris@bigballofwax.co.nz 2010-05-21 00:53 UTC --- This bug was previously known as _bug_ 2646 at http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2646 Actual time not defined.

Being able to sort series by volume number would be extremely helpful. However, doing so shouldn't be confined to the 440 $v, but also 8XX $v.

What about the 490v? I, too, would like to see progress on this. Particularly when you click on a series link, that should default to a specific order. Would love to see more interest and movement on this. This bug is quite old.

This > bug is quite old. At the time that nengard@gmail.com sent the e-mail this bug is based on, the 440 fields were still in use. The Marc standard change that moved the 440 data to 490 happened shortly after that e-mail was sent in September of 2008. Being able to sort by the 490$v would be an awesome addition to Koha.
I have a new cataloger and she just asked me why Koha doesn't do this. We'd love to see items in a series sort in series order in the OPAC based on the 490$v.
Our members are asking for this as well.
We don't use the 490, so we would like this to be sort on 830v as well.
Being able to search and return a series in series # order would be great. We typically use the 800 or 830 subfield v, so field 8xx would work for us.

We would support this. We have a series with several volumes published in the same year so sorting by date isn't always helpful. The ability to sort results in the staff client by series name and volume number would help identify missing volumes from the series.
