Sorting order of year dates in the "date" panel with publication-type being "journal"
Dear community members,
I have encountered the following problem and I do not know how to resolve it:
When entering a sequence of the following type into the "date" panel, the publication-type being "journal",
1921/1922
it is always expressed like that
1922 1921
in the actual quotation. It should be expressed, however, exactly the same way I entered it in the panel.
I suspect that the two year dates are mistakenly interpreted as being expressions of year and month and/or day. Unfortunately, I cannot refrain from using this kind of year dates since there is a multitude of journals that have single issues spanning over two years' time.
Sincerely,
Markus

adamsmithZotero can't currently handle date ranges - I don't think there's much you can do about this, unfortunately. Fixing this is obviously planned, but I'm not sure where we're at with that.
