I know of two Ruby gems that sort LC for you. There's one Bill Dueber created
and I hacked a bit:
https://github.com/billdueber/lc_callnumber
and then there's this more recent one I saw mentioned on Planet Code4Lib a day
or two ago:
https://github.com/pulibrary/lcsort
I haven't tried it and don't know how it relates to the first, but if you want a
Ruby approach, those should help.
