    SuDocs call number index out of order.

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 18.01

    Description:
    Your SuDocs Browse index is ordered like this:

    Y 1.1/8:99-955
    Y 10.12:El 2
    Y 10.12:H 19/981
    Y 10.2:P 75/3
    Y 3.Ad 9/8:2 D 63/3
    Y 3.Ad9/8 A-7

    That is, the numbers are not being filed as whole numbers.

    Resolution:
    The tab_filing routine being used for SuDocs should include an "expand_num" line.

    It should look like this:

    !* Gov_doc Numbers
    26 F del_subfield
    26 F to_lower
    26 F expand_num
    26 F to_blank :.-
    26 F pack_spaces
