Turn Automatic MARC Tag Sorting On or Off

The sorting order for MARC tags in the MARC21 view of the Bibliographic Record and Authority Record workforms is defined in the MARC Validation profiles at the system level (see Change the sort order of MARC tags). You cannot change the sorting order at the library or branch level, but you can turn automatic sorting on or off.

To turn automatic sorting of MARC tags on or off:

1. In the Administration Explorer tree view, expand the organization’s folder.
2. Select Profiles and select the Cataloging tab.
3. Double-click Automatically sort MARC bibliographic tags or Automatically sort MARC authority tags.
4. Select Yes to sort the MARC tags in the MARC21 view of the workform. Users can enter the tags in any order and they will be sorted in the order specified in the MARC validation profiles. Select No to turn off automatic sorting of MARC tags.
