Frances, are you talking about Group Formats and Editions? That's been in
Evergreen since... a long time, maybe the first version. You can have it be
the default for Evergreen or you can switch it on in advanced search (not
that users would understand what that did!). To see it in work on
dev.gapines.org, go to Advanced Search, select Group Format and Editions,
and use Azkaban as a keyword. Note how the different formats show up as
icons.

I believe it's an algorithm.
