It would be helpful if bf:noteType had a system determined order, so
that note order was automatic as opposed to having to be determined by
the cataloguer.
The CONSER provision that notes be in field number order saves a lot
of work. It is unfortunate that in MARC 5XX, often notes which
should be next o each other are not, e.g., 510/521, 506/540; and that
vital notes are late in the sequence, e.g., 538. I hope Bibframe does
a better job of note order.
