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,

Jeanette Skwor

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.
