Style including URLs but with list ordered by date

alobo

In order to make a list of my own references for my CV,
I would like an style such as MDPI (making the bibliography in the order I have selected
the references, which is by date from newest to oldest) but including
URLs as done by Harvard Reference format 1 (but which unfortunately re-orders the list by author). Is there any? Or is there
a way to get MDPI to include the URLs when I have them in my zotero data base?
Thanks

that is certainly possible and nothing trivial. Have a look here how to get started editing a style: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step
You can either edit the MDPI style or the Harvard Ref Style to match what you like.
For the sort stuff, you'll want to look in the bibliography - sort - /sort - /bibliography section

(I assume that's supposed to say "fairly trivial" not "nothing trivial")

damnation

haha. Oops. Certainly ;)

@dammation: you say "For the sort stuff, you'll want to look in the section"
which section?

damnation

In the .csl style file.

but the relevant section is <sort> You can basically just re-order the elements (or add new ones) there. Note that you _can't_ typically just copy those sections between styles, as elements may have different names.

Sorry. I just realised you couldn't see that.

Then it means I would need to define a dependent style, the parent being a "numeric" one
and include the tags to make it print the url, right? But I do not see how to do that in the guide.

adamsmith

no, no dependent style. You'd modify that same style as indicated, change title/id and the sort section, then use that.
