Trial of high-dose Edmonston-Zagreb measles vaccine Guinea-Bissau: protective efficacy. In case someone else finds it helpful, this is how I modified the Harvard Reference Format 1 (author-date) harvard1.csi file using Notepad++ to get a bibliography sorted by surname-year-title in the format "Aaby, 1988. Wow! Very rapid and helpful responses, thank you.
If, as adamsmith says, you keep first names the same for the same authors this will generally work better, though. It used to just use the actual string displayed in the column, but that's not what people wanted. (Zotero 4.0 will use Year instead if it's present, and also sort by just the Year when Year is selected instead of the full date as 3.0 does.)Īnyhow, Zotero, by design, uses the full author name if the last name is the same. (It was actually suggested recently that Zotero remember column click history to determine secondary sort, but I'm not aware of any software that does that, particularly without any sort of visual indicator, and I don't think it'd be intuitive for most users.) There is a hard-coded order of fields used for sorting after the selected column, though, and it does use Date after Creator. Only one column has the active sort at once. When I sort by Year and then Creator in the centre pane of Zotero, the entries are not sorted by year within each first author. I'd be very grateful for advice about how to get either an rtf file or report sorted by firstCreator then Year. This generates the same sort order as clicking on Year then Creator in the centre pane of Zotero.
I have similar problems when I generate a report and add "?sort=firstCreator,date" (without the quotes). I think this is because all these entries are treated as being different Creators (so Year is sorted within each): "Adams, A" and "Adams, Alan" and "Adams, AB" and "Adams, A, Brown, B" and "Adams, A, Brown, B, Charles, C" and "Adams, A, Charles, C, Brown, B". From the Firefox Zotero centre pane (select all, right click) is there any way I can create an rtf file sorted by firstCreator then Year? For example, in Harvard Reference format 1 (Author-Date), the report seems to be sorted on firstCreator then Title (but with apparently random restarts of the Title order if one Creator has many citations).
