I think sort is very useful and should be retained, especially on checkin. Lots of libraries prefer to keep a single checkin tab open all day with an ever-growing list of checkins, because it helps them manage the items that came in at that workstation; sorting makes a lengthy list manageable. Ascending sort on checkin date is the easiest way to review checkins in the order they occurred. You might want to sort by shelving location for reshelving, by user to help with patron inquiries, or by routing destination to manage transits.

For checkout, I've heard that sort is used to control the order of items on checkout receipts.
