Chicago Style Bibliography Ordering Errors
Hi,
Unfortunately I won't have time to act on this problem - coding is beyond me - but I'm encountered random problems with the ordering of the bibliography in Chicago, full note.
I've spent 10 minutes looking for a logic and can't find one. Most of the order is correctly by date, but randomly it will reverse the order or get it completely muddled. Eg:
Skocpol, Theda. “Cultural Idioms and Political Ideologies in the Revolutionary Reconstruction of State Power: A Rejoinder to Sewell.” The Journal of Modern History 57, no. 1 (1985).
———. “Rentier State and Shi’a Islam in the Iranian Revolution.” Theory and Society 11, no. 3 (1982).
———. States and Social Revolutions: A Comparative Analysis of France, Russia, and China. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1979.
Pauker, Guy J. Bandung in Perspective. Cambridge Mass.: Center for International Studies, MIT, 1956.
———. The Bandung Conference. Cambridge Mass.: Center for International Studies, MIT, 1955.
Mutua, Makau. “Savages, Victims and Saviors.” Harvard International Law Journal 42, no. 1 (2001).
———. “What Is TWAIL?” Proceedings of the Annual Meetings of the American Society of International Law 94 (2000): 31–40.
Koskenniemi, Martti. From Apology to Utopia: The Structure of International Legal Argument. Helsinki: Lakimiesliiton Kustannus, 1989.
———. From Apology to Utopia: The Structure of International Legal Argument. Cambridge, UK; New York: Cambridge University Press, 2005.
———. “The Politics of International Law.” European Journal of International Law 1, no. 4 (1990).
Just a short selection - I thought there was a logic according to 'type', especially if it was a 'book section' but apparently not.
I know there are loads of posts on bibliography issues, so apologies if I've missed a relevant thread.

adamsmithIt's sorting alphabetically by title (CRS for Skocpol, BT for Pauker, SW for Mutua, FT for Koskenniemi and the first two titles which are the same are ordered ascending by date)- that's what the Chicago Manual requires (see CMoS 14.67). The only thing it doesn't do right is that Zotero won't ignore articles ("A", "The") at the beginning of titles.
