Hi Ramona,

I am no expert of LOC classification, but maybe something you could check:

 * Have you set the classification source in your items? (952$2)
 * When you run a report on your items, are itemcallnumber, cn_source
   and cn_sort all set?

An example SQL report would be:

SELECT itemcallnumber, cn_source and cn_sort FROM items WHERE
itemcallnumber LIKE "JUVE D%";

That would tell you if Koha has been configured correctly to create the
right sortable form of your LOC callnumbers.

Hope that helps,

Katrin

Hello everyone,

We are starting to do inventory, and the two of us working with it haven't
done it before in Koha, so we have one question.
When we ran a shelf list, some of the call numbers were out of order. We
use Library of Congress classification. The problem looked like this:
JUVE D 767..92 .M42 2002
JUVE DS 793 .G67 M33 1997
JUVE DT 63 .M35 1997
JUVE D 141 .V37 1991

All of the call numbers with only D instead of DS or DT should have come
before anything with two letters for this line in the call numbers.
Instead, there were Ds, then DFs, DGs, DKs, DSs and DTs and then 5 books
with only D showed up after the DTs.
