I'm assuming that this is something more than just a simple numerical or 
string-based sort? That it's breaking the LCCN into fields?

It's intended to work that way.

I just tried both and got > 20 responses. If you run from the command-line

You mean in the URLs to amazon? That would have to be a regexp replace, and 
XSLT doesn't do that too well.

But you can change it for any future searches by editing the 
~/.kde/share/config/tellicorc file and finding the section for the Amazon 
search. Modify (or Add) the line that starts with AssocToken.
