<div dir="ltr">This issue keeps coming up and the solution usually involves adjusting the "default sort column" and "default sort direction" in the appropriate section in the settings (in this case it would be "Location Profile Browse Columns" I think).

<p class="MsoNormal">We’re using 2.8.1 and recently I’ve been having trouble adding locations. Our numbering convention is Row: #, Compartment: #, Shelf: #. In the manage top containers tab for a specific resource, usually I’ll search to add a location with
that format. But lately, even if I put the full name of the location (with repository, floor, etc.) I’m getting lots of extraneous results.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For example, I was searching for “Row: 61, Compartment: 6, Shelf: 1” I got results including from Row 2, Compartment 1, Shelf 6, and then a whole list of every shelf in Row 61 from Compartments 1-4 until the list cut off. If I search via
browse, I get the same results and usually have to click through to the second page. As I said before, this even happens if I copy word for word a previous location already linked.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Am I searching wrong? Is it a bug? I haven’t had this problem in past iterations so I have no idea what’s going on.<u></u><u></u></p>
