Ares Items have inconsistent SortOrder fields depending on how they're created.
Items created in the Ares Client have a null SortOrder while items created by instructors in the web have the value 0. This affects the orderby clause for these items that causes the null SortOrder items to be placed ahead of the others in item tables.

Ares Web DLL using incorrect controls for the LoanPeriod field (in some cases)
Repro Steps
Create a few Sites in Ares using the Customization Manager. Then create some Loan Periods for those sites. For each site:
Navigate to the IRFBook (Add Reserve Items > Book) form in a default instance of Ares Web
Select the Site in the Processing Location dropdown
Submit the form
Sometimes the form that comes back uses the wrong control for the Loan Period field. It appears that the DLL is deciding to use controls based on the number of Loan Periods per site, disregarding the number of Loan Periods that are not visible to instructors.1 vote -
Instructors who visit OpenURL link but have no courses cannot submit the form
Since adding items to a course requires the use of either a specific course id or selecting from available courses (query defined in BuildTableCourseItemRestrictions) we should be able to detect if there will be any courses that will be shown in the table and redirect to the course home/main menu if there are no courses available for adding the item to. We may need another status line to display after redirecting in this scenario.
