Preferred term correction - $3 (materials specified) reordering
Preferred term correction reorders $3 (materials specified) in authority MARC fields gets reordered from the beginning of the field to the end of the field. $3 (materials specified) is meant to be at the beginning of the field for the purpose of display in library catalogs at the beginning. It seems that the preferred term correction is just moving it to be in numeric order. Taking time to correct this afterwards is unnecessary and should not be reordered in the first place. It should be added to the preferred term correction function not to reorder $3.
This idea has not received sufficient support from the community through votes. As a result, it is being closed to allow those votes to be reallocated to other active proposals. We appreciate the contribution and encourage continued participation in shaping future initiatives.
