> All works fine with just one exception: After finishing the task and opening the
> file in the MarcEditor I find the record sorted by field tags. This would be nice,

> Of course, in my MARC record these must remain in that order, even though

> With .mrk records generated by MarcBreaker, I usually find the fields in them

> MarcEditor Custom Sort function which allows me to exclude certain fields from
> sorting, so I can exclude my 700 field and thus keep the authors' names in their
> right order.
>
> So my question is: Is there any way to prevent the Delimited Text Translator
