I have edited one of the cookbook .xsl stylesheets to meet our needs, but I
am faced with one last change that I have not yet had success with.

We have a number of collections that include series of volumes (such as
logbooks, or account books, etc.) that are not in boxes and so we would like
to have the locator be "volume" instead of "box" and "folder".  I tried
copying the section of the stylesheet for box-folder combinations where I
replaced every instance of "box-folder" with "volume" hoping that that might
work.  I have an xml document which has a series with box and folder numbers
and then a series of volumes where the container element is coded as
"volume" (which according to the tag library is legal).

Does the template for volumes need to come before the box and folder
templates, or does this not make a difference?  If anyone has done this or
something like this successfully, I would be very grateful to not have to
reinvent the wheel, even if it is passing up a valuable learning experience
:)

Thanks,
