The books on the shelf are out of order.

No challenge, but this slows down the barcode scanning process
remarkably. Shelf-reading is a slow, methodical business; scanning is
rapid-fire.

See this bug for how the development folks are approaching this issue:

No one said anything about downloading & printing the inventory
(shelflist?). That's the last approach I would want to use ;-)
Technology's supposed to make things easier, after all ...
