Upgrade StorageZotero-generated bibliography: date order wrong and authors duplicated
I am absolutely confounded by the following issues in the Zotero-generated bibliography (Chicago) for my dissertation, which must be submitted Friday.
First, works are not inserted in chronological order.
Example:
Example:
Could it possibly be that Zotero is sorting alphabetically based on the following letter, rather than on the title of the work cited? That would explain this: HIKOOTTY, but not the final work for which he's an editor. So clearly Zotero understands the difference b/t authorship and editing. Does it not understand single vs. multiple authors...?
Your help would be appreciated.

Example:
From this, I am guessing that Chicago asks for alphabetical order (website is down right now), but I don't get that either because this author is given multiple entries.

Example:
Hōhō to shite no Tōhoku and "Kaisetsu" should be included in the group below. Why aren't they? For "Kaisetsu," I suspect it's because this is an afterword (I haven't been able to successfully add the book's author, but I see there's a workaround and I'll try it). But Hōhō to shite no Tōhoku is a simple monograph, just like the books listed below. I recreated that entry in my Zotero DB with cut-and-paste to make sure that the author's name is 100% identical in all cases. It is.

As always, be sure you have your data and document backed up before trying it out.
(Edit: Plugins can be installed in Standalone, but let's see if we can sort your issue out without touching the software.)
BTW, attempting to update the source list or change document prefs crashes Word just about every time.
Document is c. 250 pages, 550,000 chars. (w/ spaces) and has 412 footnotes, most of which are Zotero references.
I've also just realized that I can't use Chicago (full-note) anyway b/c surnames are not cited first in the notes. I had been using (note), but my supervisor requested a change. However, since the majority of authors are Japanese, surnames must be cited first.
I suppose I could go back and manually change each entry, but that's literally 100s of edits....
The bibliography does not refresh. (This is another problem, obviously.)
The document takes a long time.
