Repositioned $6 subfield

Description:
In a BIB record, when a paired field with $6 as the first subfield is automatically updated via the authorities process, the $6 subfield is repositioned so that it follows the authorized heading.
$6 should always be the first subfield in a field.

Resolution:
We found that this can be fixed with configuration recommendations below.

1) Add in tab_fix a line with program expand_doc_sort after each line with fix_doc_ref_1. For example:
INS fix_doc_ref_1
INS expand_doc_sort
...
UE_01 fix_doc_ref_1
UE_01 expand_doc_sort

2) Set in tab_expand_sort all relevant fields with 6 as parameter. For example:
100## 6
(note that you don't have to list all the subfields, with the above setting $$6 will be first, then all the other fields will follow).

3)Restart ue_01, ue_08, pc_server.


This will retain the $$6 as the first subfield after authorities correction.
