Hi,

i' am using bookend some time now mostly as a pure database. a few days ago I used it in connection with mellel. when i scanned the document the bibliography was sorted by the author's prename. How can I change this to give out a bib. sorted by the surname, prename, year ?

With kind regards from Germany,
christian

Actually, this should work out of the box â€“ are you sure you entered the names correctly into the author field?

It should be like this:

surname, prename
Clearasil, Christian

ozean is right. If you mistakently entered the names surname-last, you can use the

Global Change -> Standardize Names

feature to reorder them to surname-first.
