Okay, sorry for responding to my own post here, but I did figure out how to
unzip the .tc file, edit the tellico.xml appropriately, and then zip it back up
to make the Title field a "Dependent" field.

But (as I suspected) the field is sorted lexicographically, so issue 12 does
indeed come before issue 2.

I tried something like setting the description to '%{issue}03d', but that didn't
work at all.

Any other suggestions?
