[Koha] Help with shelf browser and classification source

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi,

there are several options, depending a bit on how many items you have.
You can use the batch item edit tool or you could change the field in
the database using SQL. SQL would probably be a good option in this
case, but should always be used very carefully.

In any case you should run the script to make sure that the cn_sort is
recalculated with for your new classification scheme.
