Bibliography of volume and chapters

JGebauer
Is it possible to have something like this in the bibliography automatically (in custom style):

André 1818a | Johann Anton André: Lieder und Gesänge mit Begleitung des Piano-Forté, vol. 3, Offenbach am Main: Johann André [ca. 1818].
André 1818b | Johann Anton André: Vorbericht, in: André 1818a, S. [3]–5.
André 1818c | Johann Anton André: Liebe, in: André 1818a, S. 12–17.
André 1818d | Johann Anton André: Sehnsucht, in: André 1818a, S. 23f.

So that the chapters point to the main volume with the citation version and sorted in this way?

Just wondering...

    I think this could be done, though it'd require a fair amount of customization. It'd also necessarily have to apply to all chapters -- you couldn't mix this with more 'traditional' chapter citations

    Can you elaborate? I assume the sorting would be difficult? Can you give me some hints how to do this (ideally for the graphical editor, but in code, if that is the better way)?

    It really depends on the exact scenarios but you'd basically want to create a sort macro that sorts by item type, so something like


    <choose>
    <if type="book">
    <text value="1"/>
    </if>
    <else-if type="chapter">
    <text value="2">
    </else-if>
    <else>
    <text value="3"/>
    </else>
    </choose>


    And then likely have this as a sort key right after the author. You might also want to sort by the title for books or container-title for chapters so that they are grouped together.

    You'd then also have to come up with that shortened chapter citation for the library. I don't think you can actually get the suffix for the book (i.e. 1818a) into the chapter
    citation.
