How do I get volume or number enumeration to display together chronologically on LHR record details in Discovery?

Symptom

• In other words, how could I get two entries, no. 1-6 (1966) and no. 7-12 (1966) to be listed on two separate lines one below the other, and the same thing for all the other years?

• It doesn't seem to matter what indicators I use in the 853 field.  It still separates them by the level of enumeration.

• The vol./no. data is grouped together in Discovery and the list counts down by year.

• WorldShare Record Manager
• Connexion
• WorldCat Discovery

Resolution

In this case the year is being used as chronology, but we want instead to use year as the first level of enumeration. 

• First, check the MARC record 863 fields for subfields i,k,j, or l for the year value being displayed. 
  • Those subfields control chronology and Discovery reads those fields first in putting together the LHR record display list.

If a designation consists of a year and a number that is a division of the year, give the year before the number.

• Remove the ‡i-‡l  subfield Chronology data
• write the year into the LHR record under ‡a-‡f  Enumeration

Here is an example that uses the 863 $a and $b:

The enumeration can also be done all in one 863 subfield $a as below:
