Style Error: APA-CV

Dear all,

The APA-CV (American Psychological Association 7th edition (curriculum vitae, sorted by descending date)) style currently present in the Zotero Style Repository (https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=apa-cv) produces unexpected output. Rather than resulting in a list sorted by descending date it sorts the bibliography alphabetically.

Comparison of the APA-CV CSL-file downloaded from the Zotero Style Repository (https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=apa-cv) with that from the CSL Visual Editor (https://editor.citationstyles.org/styleInfo/?styleId=http://www.zotero.org/styles/apa-cv) shows multiple differences that result in the unexpected behaviour.

While I can fix this for my local Zotero installation, it represents a problem when using the ZoteroWebAPI, which seems use the (incorrect) version of the style in the repository.

The Zotero Documentation (https://www.zotero.org/support/styles) suggests such errors should be reported here - any help in fixing it would be appreciated.

Kind regards
Andreas
  • There's nothing per se wrong with the style and the sorting looks like the same as on the visual editor (which has slightly older versions of styles, typically). You see completely alphabetical sorting with the CV style? (I don't)
  • yes, I get a alphabethical output using the style with the ZoteroWebAPI and also when looking at it on the preview pane - copying the output below (manually added publication dates in square brackets so that sort order becomes clear).

    Output of the ZoteroWebAPI call can be seen on our website: https://www.nhm.at/forschung/geologie__palaeontologie/publikationen

  • Oh, within a given year. That's a different story. We can fix that more easily
