Hi Brian,

As far as I know, the first ISBN entry of a record will always be used 
to retrieve added content images.  I'm not familiar with any workarounds 
other than editing the records to order the information in them 
accordingly, but maybe someone is working on this?  Otherwise, I think 
that'd be a useful feature to have in the future.
