Splitting up automatically generated Bibliographies?

Hello all,

Just want to confirm if this is possible?

Given my background in law - it is customary (at least at my institution – and several others locally) to split a Bibliography into separate parts:

1.) General Sources (articles/books etc.);
2.) Caselaw (court cases cited);
3.) Legislation/Statutes (Acts/legislation cited - and their full references).

I would need to do them by jurisdiction as well - so where I'm comparing two/three different countries - put 1.), 2.) and 3.) under one heading for Country A; and 1.), 2.) and 3.) under another heading for Country B etc.
I realise I can do the latter manually - but it would obviously be much easier if BE can already "sort/split" into 1.)/2.)/3.)...

Can this be done?
If not automatically - and users care to share how they managed something similar, manually?

I don't know if this option gives you enough control for what you want, but you should check out Biblio -> Subject Bibliographies (see User Guide, in the Help Menu). This will output references in sections, based on a number of independent criteria. Among them are groups. So you could have references in Group 1 output in one section, Group 2 in another, and so on.

Thanks Jon - that sounds like it could work, will have a look!
