Hi,

I need an export for selected references as bibliography format with styled text.
Is it possible to have an alphabetic sort order for Authors lastname?
What is the rule for sorting the exported reference list?

Or any other possibilities to export references with preserved formats/styles?

The format you are using determines the order of the exported references -- use one that alphabetizes the bibliography (it's a checkbox in the Bibliography Options tab).

Thanks for your fast reply.

See attached screenshot. The settings for alphabetizing are set, but it didn't work for styled text export.


The first entry should be "Abels" but it is "Stadler" and I cannot see any sort order.

You might try Rebuilding the library.

If that doesn't help, what dialog do you see for exporting the references as styled text?

The rebuild didn't make a difference

If I use the export for "Hits" instead of "Selection" the sort order is correct (except one).

You're right. I'll look at that.

If you think there is one item not sorted properly, please check the entry and make sure that, for example, there is no space before the author's name. If you can't figure it out and want to pursue it, please send the library to tech support (support@sonnysoftware.com), making sure that the references you want in the output are marked (hits).

I've found the problem and it should be fixed in the next update.
