Ordering of entries in bibliography by year

dnh

Hi,

I have a problem with the ordering of several entries by the same author. I've added

<sort>
<key macro="author"/>
<key variable="year"/>
</sort>

...but I get:

Semetko, Holli (2003) “Political Bias in the Media,” pp. 517-25 in D. Johnston (ed) Encyclopedia of International Media and Communications 3. Amsterdam: Academic Press.

Semetko, Holli (1996a) “Political Balance on Television - Campaigns in the United States, Britain, and Germany.” Press/Politics 1: 51-71.

Semetko, Holli (1996b) “The Media,” pp. 254-79 in L. LeDuc, R. Niemi, and P. Norris (eds) Comparing Democracies - Elections and Voting in Global Perspective. London: Sage Publications.

Semetko, Holli (2000) “Great Britain: The End of News at Ten and the Changing News Environment,” pp. 343-74 in R. Gunther and A. Mughan (eds) Democracy and the Media. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.


How can I change that in order to have a correct ordering of the entries (1996a, 1996b, 2000, 2003)?

Try using the variable "issued" instead of "year". There are multiple dates attached to an item (issued date, accessed date, etc), so just specifying year won't work. See also:

Thanks, works perfectly!
