Could we have the UK Eclipse label reordered by catalog number? Right now, it seems to be ordered by release date and maybe something else that makes, e.g., the number 108 come before the 12.

That gets my vote it would then be easier to find and zap duplicates.

108 is falsely dated by the look of it - it's probably got the year of recording rather than release. More accurate dating of the discograohy, with month and well as year, would resolve the problem.

Unfortunately in the 78 era release dates are hard if not impossible to come by and quite often the sources collectors quote turn out to be an earlier collector's informed speculation.

Record Companies frequently released discs with allocated catalogue numbers early or delayed, so no amount of dating will ever give a tidy order. But sort order throughout the site is 'simple alphabetical', which explains why 100 comes before 99.

Sorting by catalogue number doesn't actually work (for boring technical reasons)

We could custom sort the label but I think me might be better waiting until the listing is a bit more near completion.

I'd think it's because, as an alphanumeric field, catalogue no. '108' comes before '12', reading left to right. It works, it's just not looked at as a numeric value since a catalogue no. could contain one or more letters.
