Thanks gemma-
However, I can not change the format of the call number by adding any characters, eliminating spaces or periods.
The library of congress system has very specific meanings that would be changed by doing that. :(
HELP!
I am trying to sort Library of Congress call numbers and it is driving me batty!
Here is the way it needs to sort...
First sort alphabetically by 1-2 letters
AG105 .F43 1989
Then numerically by 1-4 numbers
AG105 .F43 1989
Skip the period
AG105 .F43 1989
Alphabetically by 1 letter...
