Look into database the values of items.cn_sort for thoses callnumbers.

The call numbers are fine. It's the sorting sequence I wanted to change.

As in my previous post, I effected this by changing to a different set of "Classification Filing Rules". "LCC" did what I wanted, "Generic" did not.

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?
