Hi everyone,
I've used PyMARC/Python to add a series of 863 and 949 fields to my
bib records, and they initially show up in ME interfiled, like this:
-------------------------------------------------------
=863  \\$81.1$a1$p31142040593785
=949  0\$aNNU$bBOBST$cARCH$mISSMX$i04$t4$jMC 141$p31142040593785$e1$dBox 1
=863  \\$81.2$a2$p31142040593793
=949  0\$aNNU$bBOBST$cARCH$mISSMX$i04$t4$jMC 141$p31142040593793$e2$dBox 2
=863  \\$81.3$a3$p31142040593801
=949  0\$aNNU$bBOBST$cARCH$mISSMX$i04$t4$jMC 141$p31142040593801$e3$dBox 3
=863  \\$81.4$a4$p31142040593819
=949  0\$aNNU$bBOBST$cARCH$mISSMX$i04$t4$jMC 141$p31142040593819$e4$dBox 4
=863  \\$81.5$a5$p31142040593827
=949  0\$aNNU$bBOBST$cARCH$mISSMX$i04$t4$jMC 141$p31142040593827$e5$dBox 5
=863  \\$81.6$a6$p31142040593835
=949  0\$aNNU$bBOBST$cARCH$mISSMX$i04$t4$jMC 141$p31142040593835$e6$dBox 6
=863  \\$81.7$a7$p31142040593843
=949  0\$aNNU$bBOBST$cARCH$mISSMX$i04$t4$jMC 141$p31142040593843$e7$dBox 7
=863  \\$81.13$a13$p31142042256357
=949  0\$aNNU$bBOBST$cARCH$mISSMX$i04$t4$jMC 141$p31142042256357$e13$dBox 13
=863  \\$81.14$a14$p31142042256365
=949  0\$aNNU$bBOBST$cARCH$mISSMX$i04$t4$jMC 141$p31142042256365$e14$dBox 14
-------------------------------------------------------

If I "Sort all fields", then the 863 fields re-sort but with the $8
numbering out of order (i.e., 1.1, 1.13, 1.14, 1.2, 1.3...), instead
of just moving all the 863s together.

So I tried the Custom Sort feature, specifying to exclude only the
863s from sorting, but when I click "OK" nothing happens to either the
863s or the 949s (i.e., they remain interfiled) - though my 520 fields
did move from after 7XXs to the 5XX area, so I know *some* sorting is
happening.

Does anyone use the Custom Sort feature, and if so, could you shed
light on why the 949s don't get moved to appear after all the 863s?

thanks in advance!
