ordering citations in Environment and Planning style
I need to use the 'Environment and Planning' style to format the references for a document. This style should include an option to order multiple in-text citations alphabetically as the Environment and Planning set of journals require this. However, the format citations dialog box (both Quick Format and Classic), don't have the 'keep sources sorted' tab.
Any thoughts on how the in-text citations (in case of multiple sources)can be sorted in alphabetical order would be really helpful.

When creating a bibliography, sources from the same author get sorted alphabetically by title, rather than in ascending chronological order as per the journal's style (at least for Env and Planning D: Society and Space). This is the case with both the catch-all style and the one labelled specifically for D.
edit: I've also just noticed that these styles put a period at the end of each bibliography entry, contrary to the journal's style requirements (see here: www.envplan.com/ref_examples.html )
edit2: There is also a comma in the existing csl that should not be there: between author last name and first initial (bibliography)
combining the two edits above, here is an example:
current:
Peck, J, 2013, “Explaining (with) neoliberalism” Territory, Politics, Governance 1(2) 132–157.
should be:
Peck J, 2013, “Explaining (with) neoliberalism” Territory, Politics, Governance 1(2) 132–157
current version: Peck, J and Tickell, A, 2002 (and so on)
should be: Peck J, Tickell A, 2002 (and so on)
The updated version will appear on the repository within 30mins (check the timestamp). Update your copy of the style by clicking "Update Now" in the General tab of the Zotero preferences.
