This issue has been highlighted by a failing test: ISSUESLIP displays checkouts in random order
I thought it was because of dates comparison, but it comes from the following line in C4::Letters::_get_tt_params
my $objects = $module->search( { $key => { -in => $values } } );
The DBMS will return data like there is ordered in the DB.
For instance:
select borrowernumber from borrowers where borrowernumber in (5, 3, 1);
or
select borrowernumber from borrowers where borrowernumber=5 or borrowernumber=3 or borrowernumber=1;
will return 1, 3, 5
I did not find a generic way to do that, so used "ORDER BY FIELD" which will not be portable.
Test plan:
If you do not apply this patch, the tests will sometime fail
