This is inherent to Evergreen 1.6, it's a very basic sort algorithm that doesn't understand Dewey vs LC vs. CODOC, etc. In 2.0, I added "call number classification schemes" that can be configured at the level of a library to generate a sort key appropriate for the classification scheme in use; it comes with LC, Dewey, and generic schemes. See http://coffeecode.net/archives/230-Classification-scheme-aware-call-number-sorting-in-Evergreen.html for the details; since that post, I've added the library setting and the field/subfield combinations. The call number classification is actually stored at the call number level, so further work could be done to provide a user interface that allows an override of the classification scheme when each call number is assigned, rather than just accepting the library-assigned default scheme.
