I have a question. At footnote I have more books citated. How can I change the books order? Can I do this? or is need to reintroduce that manualy? (I have 4 books at footnote and I need change 3 with 1)

There is a ticket to address this issue and give users the ability to reorder items in the multiple sources pane.

See http://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/1001

For the time being to reorder citations in a footnote you need to remove them and re-add them. Currently the order for the citations is governed by the order in which you add them to the multiple sources list.

I am return with an old question:

Does anyone know how to sort the order of items cited in a footnote after a certain criterion. It is possible or not yet?
If so, how to edit the style they use?

Thanks,

Citations can be sorted according to the sort criteria specified in the csl:
at the beginning of the section
<citation> the csl has a small section <sort>
if you want citations to be sorted alphabetically by author, for example, you would write:
<sort>
<key variable="author"/>
</sort>

for general directoins.

Thanks adamsmith.

It works. but I have a problem.

When I insert the footnote I check the „Keep Sources Sorted”, but when I edit the footnote I have not this option again.

When edit a reference footnote and add it to at a new source thas isalways put at the and, not in place that I like (alfabetical, for example).

I gave refresh but nothing its happened.

What can I do in this case?

adamsmith

sorry, no way around that at this time. Zotero just doesn't deal with that very well.

And a other problem.

In my old documents the problem is not revolved.
I can not reorder the citation.

Maybe if the option with „Keep Sources Sorted”, is available when I edit citation the problem can be resolved.

Like I say above I gave refresh but nothing its happened.

Thanks,
