---- Reported by amirseni@gmail.com 2009-10-19 16:25:09 ---- I've been printing labels regularly for new books but the problem is the ordering of the barcodes, which is done by order of selection of items. But this becomes cumbersome when wanting to regularly print >50 labels. Any possibility of ordering the labels by barcode number?

Still valid on current master.
This is still valid on master To reproduce: 1) Go to Tools > Label creator 2) Make sure you have a template and a layout for barcodes 3) Click on New > Label batch 4) Click on Add items 5) Add items in a random order 6) Click on Done 7) Click on Export full batch 8) Choose the template and layout for barcode labels 9) Click Export 10) Open the PDF, Note that the barcodes are in the order they were added, not in order of barcodes I'm not sur if it is useful to have the barcodes in the order they were added. I would sort them in order by default.
I can think of a use case: Say you can all items from your cart to print labels for and put them back on the cart in the sequence you scanned them. The labels will be also printed in that sequence - making it much easier to work through your cart attaching the labels. Maybe we should have a pull down with different options for odering?
I agree that the option to force a batch to print in call number order would be helpful, but also that it should be optional, for exactly the cart-of-books example Katrin described.
