Question

Hi,

I am using the BibtexPlugin. If I don't use the default style, then sorting does not work any more (with the default style, everything works fine).

Any idea what I can do?

Thanks

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

The plugin assumes that if a style other than bibtool is used, then the ordering is set by the BibTeX style. To change this behavior, you can break apart the code block that spans L608-L614 in BibtexPlugin.pm. e.g. Add the following lines to the block:

L608:      } else {
L609:         $bibtex2HtmlArgs .= ' -dl --use-keys ';
+          }
+          {
L610:         $bibtex2HtmlArgs .= '-a ' if $theSort =~ /^(author|name)$/;
L611:         $bibtex2HtmlArgs .= '-d ' if $theSort =~ /^(date|year)$/;
L612:         $bibtex2HtmlArgs .= '-u ' if $theSort !~ /^(author|name|date|year)$/;
L613:         $bibtex2HtmlArgs .= '-r ' if $theReverse eq 'on';
L614:      }

I'll try to make the sorting behavior more logical in the next release.
