Dear Nili,
Why have you closed this idea despite the fact that only half of it has been implemented? Manu and several other commenters have already emphasized that sorting alphabetically by title is only a second-best solution and not what has originally been requested.

Number volumes in 200 subfeild $h of CNMARC is not be indexed,so the volumes are not sorted in order by volume number.We hope the 200$h can be indexed.It will be very convenien for patrons and employees.Could it be imporved?Hope it can be realised soon.

"Multivolume works: show enumeration and sort the volumes accordingly"

Is such a behaviour available also for classic Primo systems?

As seems to be the consensus, this issue is ongoing and has not been satisfactorily resolved. A new ticket has been opened. Please vote, thanks.

I second this request. It consitutes a basic library requirement, (not an enhancement) in my opinion. We need the correct sequential running order in our Primo visualisation. Currently it seems to be alphabetical, but a numerical ordering has a higher priority for resources like sketchbooks of numbered drawings or photos in a paginated album: all labelled in the first instance by page number. Alphabetical presentation is useless.

In the full display of each alphabetically listed component item the page number within the host item is given. This enumeration is currently wildly random - 36,11, 13 ..

> needs to sort by the number of the volume

Which will also solve the problem that now the sort is
1
10
2
3

Hi

This is active in the Sandbox now.

While alphabetical sort is better than it was before, it is not how the sort should be.

The sort needs to show the Number of volume, as well as the title, and it needs to sort by the number of the volume.

Thank you

Wouldn't it be better to sort by volume number (vol. 1 ; vol. 2 ; vol. 3 etc.) instead of title?
Kind regards, Raphael

Hi Nili

A patron asked us about this today – can you tell us an estimated time?

... and I just don't see why Primo VE shouldn't be able to do what all kinds of old-fashioned library catalogs were able to do ...

> Maybe they just forgot to unlock the needed field for the display?

No:

"Product manager said that your suggestion is really interesting and is an enhacement request that could be discussed with Development." (SF00934664)

I completey agree that this is a basic function of a library catalog.

Leaving out the volume numbers in the serial-data is like providing a banking software that isn't able to add and substract...
Though - when I think about all the news about the financial-market in the last months, perhaps that comparison bears thinking about a bit more.
Maybe they just forgot to unlock the needed field for the display?

Agreed! Enumeration (and the ordered display of information) is vital to clear communication with our library patrons, not to mention staff work.

without a volume number displaying, a citation is that much harder to find. this is essential information for a library to function, both for patrons and employees.
