Have more control over the Shelving Library/Location drop down list
Currently the Shelving Library/Location drop down list cannot be changed and it appears to be in order of when a library was created in Alma.
We would prefer the order to be either:
-alphabetical order
-alphabetical order, with the logged in users home library at the top (as is the order when placing requests in Alma fulfillment).
This would make it easier for selectors to find the library they want to order for.
We would also like the ability to exclude libraries from this list. Currently our eResources library displays.

We will take a look at the out-of-order library list in Shelving Library/Location. This appears to be a defect--in the future you can report these to Support directly if you'd like.
Regarding hiding libraries, you can scope your user roles to the relevant ordering library/libraries and it will only show libraries and locations that that ordering library has "Acquire For" relationships with.

I actually did lodge a ticket for this before submitting this idea and was told that I should add it to the ideas exchange in response, case number: 06323191.
There was also more detail in that ticket on why we would want to hide a library. We didn't want to include the library we use for eResources, we have a library set up that isn't a physical library so there is no shelving location. We would still need the scope to order for that library when purchasing eResources.
