Sorting of refs in library window

Post by Jasso »

Hi again

Noticed something slightly annoying. If Bookends is set to use "Surname only" (in Prefs --> Lists) it then seems to sort by Surname + Date without taking any notice of the first name of the author. This results in annoying sorting in some cases, for example when I have multiple editions of the same work.

In the example below, Bookends separates the two editions of the same work by "Rogers, E.W." and places "Rogers, P." between them:

Could this the changed so that even when the setting is "Surname only" Bookends would still sort by Surname + First name + Date, even if it doesn't display the first names?

No. The list sort is what on what is in the list, not what is entered in the database.
