Hi,

I have a basic node type with a field "itemcode", which I want to be used as the default sorting field with ASC order for the taxonomy generated pages.

I found a lengthy thead on the Drupal site which indicates that this is a often sought feature, but that it is postponed to post version 4.7, but I am not sure that it can handle a specific field as well as a different sort order. (http://drupal.org/node/10839). If not, is there a way I can specify this by command-line, i.e. "taxonomy/term/3,5&field=itemcode&order=asc" or similar?

Use Views; I designed the tool for exactly this kind of purpose. Though it's not really something that can be resorted via the command line, so it's not quite what you're asking for, but very close.
