[Evergreen-catalogers] Sorting by publication date in 264 field

[Janet Schrader]

Hi Mike,

I'm curious about this for a different purpose. I want to see the pub date
display in Vandelay.  My records do have dates in Date 1.  I tried to
change the record attribute to include both 260 and 264 but wasn't
successful. I was able to add a record attribute for the 264 pub date and
so have 2 pub date columns in Vandelay. This seems sort of what's happening
with the sort by pub date Teri-Lynn mentions as the dates are not
interfiled but two separate lists.
