In my previous job, we found that engineers
at Ex Libris had set our Aleph program to put items in barcode order. Just a
thought.

***Thanks
for sharing. Yours is the second response I’ve gotten, so
we’re not the only ones. Did you happen to report it to
ExLibras? We’re not able to find that anyone did.
Sincerely,

Hi Jeanette,
We also upgraded this summer.
I’ve found that if I accidently click on the Receive Date column (or any
column for that matter) it sorts numerically by that column. However, it
sorts computer numerically such as 1/13/09, 1/20/09, 1/3/09 etc.
I don’t know if this is the same/or
similar to the problem you’re experiencing, but the only way I’ve
found to “fix” the problem is to close out of Acquisitions and
restart the program. This seems to put the issues back in order according
to when they were received.

We
upgraded to version 7.1.0 this summer. I have noticed that sporadically
the serials checkin history is not sorted properly. It doesn’t seem
to be in any order at all.
At
first, although I reported it to our ERM & we investigated a bit (learning
absolutely nothing except that it *is* sporadic), I just thought it was
annoying. Now, however, I spent too much time searching for
missing issues & confirming what we have vs. what was published (of
Newsweek) only to find that *today* it is sorting just fine and all the issues
are there and checked in.
Grrr.
