Desired Outcome Goal:
1) What roles do the xxx01/tab/tab_sub_lib_sort and xxx01/tabtab_item_list_order play in the ordering of locations in the Web and GUI BIB displays?

2) What is the sublibrary "profile" that's referenced in the xxx01/tab/tab_sub_lib_sort file help section?

3) What roles do the xxx01/tab/tab_sub_lib_sort and xxx01/tab/tab_item_list_order play in the ordering of locations in Primo OvP and the DLF services?

Procedure:
1) Certain item/location display functions use the xxx01/tab/tab_sub_lib_sort table. These include:
* WWW-SHORT (Web Brief List display -- for PST or LOC or ITMx )
* WWW-FULL (Web Full display for ITM1, ITM3, ITM4, and ITMH)
* WWW-FULL-LOC-PST (Web Full display for LOC and PST) (see KB 10194 for more about this)
* WWW-ITEM-LIST-FILTER (Locations displayed in Holdings detail, Items list, DLF get_filters service)
* PC-FULL-ITM (the GUI Full display for ITEMs -- this does not currently include the PST or LOC )

If a xxx01/tab/tab_sub_lib_sort entry has a "02" value, then the xxx01/tab/tab_item_list_order, defining an exact order of sublibraries (whatever you wish, not necessarily alphabetic), is consulted. One can have a different xxx01/tab/tab_item_list_order for each base, if one wishes (since the program first looks for a base-suffix-ed version).

2) The "sub-library profile" is the sublibrary value in the z61 profile record (the Circulation profile). The z61 documentation has this information about the z61_bor_search_sub_library field:

Sub-library code for the user's selected 'search' sub-library. If full record display has been set up with ITM5 for link to list of items (display of items of a single sub-library at a time), when the user requests the item list, the system will automatically display the items that exist in the selected library. The default sub-library is the first sub-library listed in the Web short table (ITM and ITM+), in Web full display (ITM3 and ITM4) and in Web list of items display (ITM5).

If the relevant xxx01/tab/tab_sub_lib_sort line has "02" and the z61_bor_search_sub_library field is blank, then there will be no "preferred" library and the system will simply use the sublibraries in tab_item_list_order as they are.

3) xxx01/tab/tab_sub_lib_sort > WWW-ITEM-LIST-FILTER controls sorting of Locations displayed in the DLF get_filters service (http://youraleph:1893/rest-dlf/record/USM01000000681/filter). This table does not control sorting of the standard Primo brief record Locations list (http://youraleph:1893/rest-dlf/record/USM01000000681/holdings).
