Swapping given name and surname for first citation

Princess3167

Hello!

I study at a German university which has quite strict requirements for citations.

At my faculty (history) the first citation must always be as such:

Georg Iggers: Geschichtswissenschaft im 20. Jahrhundert, Göttingen 1993, S. ...

The following footnotes can then use a short title such as:

Iggers: Geschichtswissenschaft, S. ...

The bibliography then must follow standard rules:

Iggers, Georg: Geschichtswissenschaft im 20. Jahrhundert, Göttingen 1993.

It follows the scheme in Nils Freytag & Wolfgang Piereth's "Kursbuch Geschichte".

I am currently using a slightly edited version of KIT Karlsruher Institut für Technologie Germanistik DNL..., but am totally stuck as to how I can get the first name and surname swapped just for the first citation and to remove the first name for subsequent citations.

I have tried to remove " name-as-sort-order="all" " from my code (shown below) but it removes the alphabetical sorting for the bibliography as well.






As I have about zero experience with CSL I would be very grateful if someone could help!!

Thanks so much!

We'd need to see the whole style to say more (post to a free code sharing site like pastebin.com and link), but FWIW, this pattern is fairly standard in Footnote styles such ase

in German as well as the Chicago full-note family of styles.

Here is an easy tool which you can use to create your own csl style for history papers (and humanities in large): https://theratramnus.github.io/

Thanks so much for both your tips! Will definitely try out creating my own style.
