Because the Sirsi system arranges magazine issues alphabetically by the call number (April, August, December,ý), magazine call numbers will need to entered differently than in the past.
To get the call numbers to display by date, the call number will begin with the date of the issue in numeric format, followed by the issue in alphanumeric format.

We are using the numeric portion of the call number only for sorting purposes so it need not be exact.

For quarterly titles, label them as 1 to 4 for the year.

It would be advised to change the existing 2004 issues to this format so they display in sequence.
