Sorting Volumes Numerically - Not By Digit
When a patron is looking at a monograph serial title and wants to place a hold on a volume, they click on place a hold and get the option to choose which volume they want. The volumes are listed by digit, rather than numerically. For example:
1
10
100
101
102
103
11
12
13
We would like to see the volumes listed numerically (preferably with the latest volumes listed first):
103
102
101
100
99
98
97
This would help patrons find exactly the volumes they are looking for, particularly having the latest volumes listed at the top.

The existing setup is frankly embarrassing! It looks like the kind of thing a first-year computer science student codes when building a UI. In a lot of enhancement requests, there is a case for the system being set up as it is because it's superior in some contexts, but not ONCE has a patron wanted to review serials holdings in this order:
1
10
100
101
