I would have said bib record number order, which would essentially be
the same thing as May said.

And Kriss wins the prize!

See #101173 for the explanation, brief though it be and easily, oh too
easily, overlooked!

Of course, with R2003 Phase 3, it's really easy for the patron to
change the sort to whatever they want once they reach the browse
screens! 

Although one funky thing happens if you sort a browse or index browse
screen by anything other than "system sorted" or "call number" - the
"see" references all get sorted at the end of the list...

Check out the last 4 pages of results. Weird. It makes sense (nulls are
often sorted last), but it's still weird. 

HTH,
David
