Consortium tells the app where to authenticate (etc), an individual
library/system could inform the starting search scope

This took a while to sink in, but I eventually realized that the list
of search scopes is in alphabetical order. So, unlike "All C/W MARS
Libraries" our top level consortium label "Missouri Evergreen" was not
near the top. I think that an primary sort on org level and a
secondary sort on alpha with some indentation for the lower level orgs
would work.
