Certainly !  Just add the sort with ADAGER.  Since the sorted item
(Catalogue-number) is already a search item, this is not a problem.  If
Catalogue number was not a search item, this would be a problem because any
change programmatically to the catalogue number would require a put / delete
or critical item update.  Since this is already the case, adding a sort will
not cause a problem.  Beware that if you add the sort to all three items
below, that your performance on puts is going to slow way down if you have a
large number of detail dataset entries.
