Additional sort order options when viewing purchase order line items

[Alex Lazar]

In the current staff client, when a purchase order is viewed the line items are sorted by id and there are no other options for sorting the list. East Grand Forks, MN library staff suggested that it would be useful to have an additional option to sort by author. I could imagine sorting by title could be useful as well.

A sort by title would be extremely beneficial. It's very difficult to find a particular title on large orders, and especially difficult when there are multiple titles that are similar. It takes time to scroll through a large order to check the boxes for only those titles that you need to invoice.

We would like the ability to sort selection lists, purchase orders, and invoices alphabetically by title. Also recommended that sorting should respect non-filling characters.

We have received this request from many of our libraries using the Acquisitions module
