    Description:
    SuDocs call numbers with slash ("/") and colon (":") are interfiled.

    A number like
    A 1.1/6:
    files before
    A 1.1:

    Resolution:
    Delete the "/" from the to_blank line for the SuDocs tab_filing entry (xxx01/tab/tab_filing) (thus, permitting the "/" to be indexed). (You should leave the ":" in the to_blank, so it continues to be blanked out.)

    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
