Sorting by Author and Title

Post by Nhaps »

I am new to Bookends, and would like to know if I can sort all my references by author-title. Right now I think it is sorting by author-date. Thanks

In a bibliography? Yes, it's an option in the format (Bibliography tab) -- sort by author, title.

No, the default sort is author-date. You can of course the sort on any given column by clicking on its header, but that won't take into account any other column.

I am revisiting this thread for a feature request. When we have many articles by a single author, it is difficult to quickly find the reference. Sorting by author-title or author-year-title would be a very useful feature. Yes, one can use command-f, but it's not quick enough.
