serials previous issuance copy location randomly fails to apply

[Bill Erickson]

Evergreen 2.5+

The org unit setting "serial.prev_issuance_copy_location" ("Previous Issuance Copy Location") tells the system to change the copy location of the previous serial.unit (by issuance and stream) to the configured value when a new serial.item is received. However, there is an error in the code which determines what the previous serial.unit is resulting in serial.unit's which have already had their locations updated (per the the setting) being selected for update again instead of the most recent previous serial.unit.

The bug is the result of an improperly (and basically randomly) sorted list. This, of course, makes it impossible to reliably replicate or predict.

A patch is on its way.

Looks good to me. Thanks, Bill!
