Question:
I am planning to print our standard report and was wondering if it is possible to print the report in order by Dewey number (as they would be found on the shelves) rather than in alphabetical order by title. Being able to print the report this way would save me a lot of time when I inventory the library, but I can't seem to figure out how to filter the report. I would appreciate any input you may have at your convenience.

Answer:
Review the above report, sort your data by DEWEY number. (in the above report data is sorted by CALL number)
