Library of Congress numbers

I'm pretty sure that the LCCN's don't come out in the right order. Eg., from my library, they are arranged the following way:

BV170 .A42
BV170 .A419

They should come out in the opposite order, because the numbers following the A are decimals, not whole numbers. In that case, .42 comes after .419.

Check this link for reference:

If this belongs under support because the problem is on my end, my apologies. Otherwise, this would make a good feature update.

Thanks Preston for the post. Unfortunately the numbers are interpreted as a whole numbers because of the presence of non-numeric characters before the number.
