Hi Admire,

you can easily rename the field label using jQuery. Take a look at the
jQuery library on the wiki to learn how this works and to find a lot of
examples: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/JQuery_Library

For renaming the sort1, something like this should work:
$("#pat_memberentrygen label[for='sort1']").html("Grade: ");

Hope this helps,

Katrin

My only small problem is to change the label  "Sort 1" on the patron entry page to "Grade" so as to make the system more user friendly at the expense of upgrades, of course!
