[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Anyone using Custom Org Unit Tree

[Tim Spindler]

We use custom org unit trees but solely for the purpose of display in the
OPAC so that we can have a straight alphabetical list (otherwise our region
information would showup).  I did not think custom org trees affected holds
policies or circ polices.
