Description David Nind 2026-01-18 18:14:14 UTC
The order of the notices shown for 'Patron messaging preferences' seems somewhat random.

I recommend putting them in alphabetical order.

To reproduce:

1. In the staff interface, go to Administration > System preferences
2. Set UseRecalls to Use
3. Set ILLModule to Enable
4. Go to Patrons
5. Add a new patron: + New patron > Patron
6. Scroll down to the "Patron messaging preferences" section (at the bottom)
7. Note the order of the notices:
   - Hold filled
   - Hold reminder
   - Return recalled item
   - Recall awaiting pickup
   - Interlibrary loan ready
   - Interlibrary loan unavailable
   - Interlibrary loan updated
   - Item checkout
   - Auto renewal
   - Advance notice	
   - Item due
   - Item check-in
8. If you go to Administration > Patrons and circulation > Patron categories, and edit any patron category, the order is the same.
9. If you go to the OPAC, log in as a patron, and go to the 'Messaging' section, note that they are in alphabetical order.

They were recently re-arranged into a somewhat functional order as alphabetic would not work with translations. Alphabetic also seems a bit counter-intuitive for patrons who might not know what things are called.

Thanks Katrin.

I wasn't aware of that bug, and nice insights on issues with sorting when translated.

Happy to close this.
