    Problem Symptoms:
    Although "Sort record" has been applied to a HOL record, field 853 displays AFTER field 863
    Saving the record to the server didn't fix the field sorting
    /xxx60/tab/tab_fix contains:
    INS fix_doc_sort

     

    Cause:
    Normal system behavior
    fix_doc_sort calls the sort_docx program. 
    sort_docx has this logic:


    EVALUATE TAB100-MARC-TYPE
    WHEN "1"
    IF DOC-CODE (1: 1) = "5" OR
    = "6" OR
    = "8" OR
    = "7"
    THEN
    MOVE "00 " TO DOC-CODE (2:)
    END-IF

    This means that, during the sorting process, 853 and 863 are temporarily both changed to 800. 
    The result is that they stay in the order in which they were entered into the record.

     

    Resolution:
    Only deleting and manually re-entering these fields will change the order.
