In our configuration at least, copy level holds don't appear to have any 
particular precedence in getting items to fill a specific hold.

That was one very nice aspect of our previous ILS holds workflow.

So, what we really need is the v.2.1 "top of the queue" idea. In the 
meantime, however... :-)

Jason,

My understanding from someone who had done this is it does take precedence, 
or at least it did in 1.4. Some PINES libraries apparently used it often to 
bring items back once they were stuck supplying holds elsewhere.
