We're having some issues with call number sort in our reports and I'm wondering if anyone has any insights.

It appears that cn_sort has two different methods of sorting call numbers. One way is that 0 is added so that a call number of HD30.19 is HD003019. The other way is with _ so HD30.19 is HD_0030_19. ... So can I adjust the sorting method, or is there something wrong with my data?

items.cn_sort calculation depends on items.cn_source value, if no
value, the default classification source is used (defined in syspref
"DefaultClassificationSource").

I think I understand this, but I don't understand how to make a call number like "H B34" sort before one like "HM B34".

It seems the default is to sort spaces after letters and numbers (which takes me all the way back to Hollerith sorts!).

Can this be changed, and if so, how?
