[Koha] Locations and sublocations

[Lino Tremblay]

Hello Joann,

One of the problems I see with your solution it your OPAC's Location 
menu: it will contain all your locations, sorted alphabetically - which 
probably means in no logical order. This is everything but user-friendly 
if you have more than 4-5 locations/sublocations... Is it possible to 
choose and configure what's in this menu? I'd like to hide some 
locations and sublocations, by example.
