As I understand customer uses SelfService and on resolve he can again
see ticket, right? You just don't want to notify him until ticket is
resolved. If you don't use Cc in this queues then you can put customer
there and a substitute into Requestors. In this case you'll have to
adjust notification scrips.

Since 3.6.x scrips are ordered according to description column, but
not that only in 3.8.x RT's default have not NULL description. NULLs
are always first or last depending on database.

$ticket->QueueObj->FirstCustomFieldValue("Name");
use hash if you like, but you'll have to restart server.

I think the solution will do the job.
