It is very good that this problem has been taken into a Task Group.
Anyhow I am not very happy of the suggested algorithm. A simple filing
subfield would serve easily in the sorting - or maybe we both mean a
same kind of solution and it is just described differently?
I also would like to add the subfields "n" of 130, 240 etc. to this Task
Group. There is much to be sorted eg. in music.
