Upgrade StorageModify sort order of same first author, same year citations in text and in bibliography
I'm working with same first author, multi-author references and trying to modify a citation style according to the following author guidelines:
For in-text citations:
"If multiple papers occur with the same first author and year, these are ordered by when they are first cited in the text (receiving an a, b, c, etc. after the year both in the text and in the reference list)."
For the bibliography:
"Papers with three or more authors are in chronological order regardless of second author name (so that people can easily find the ‘et al.’ papers). If multiple papers occur with the same authorship and year, these are ordered by when they are first cited in the text (receiving an a, b, c, etc. after the year both here and in the text – below)."
The references I'm working with are multi-author papers (similar author sets, but different orders and different total numbers of authors) from 2016 and 2017, all with the same first author. In the bibliography, I want the 2016 paper to appear first, and then the 2017 papers to appear a, b, c in the order in which they are first cited in the text. The author guidelines don't have instructions exactly specific to this case, but I've been in touch with the journal editors and this is how they would interpret their guidelines and apply them to these references.

With my current .csl, my in-text citations are:
Here is the first Weiser et al article (Weiser et al. 2017c)
Here is another (Weiser et al. 2017a)
And another. (Weiser et al. 2017b)
I want them to appear as:
Here is the first Weiser et al article (Weiser et al. 2017a)
Here is another (Weiser et al. 2017b)
And another. (Weiser et al. 2017c)
For a new instance of a grouped citation (i.e. none of the citations have appeared previously), I get (Weiser et al. 2016, 2017b, c, a) - I'm not sure how the citation sort code is sorting in this particular case.
I want them to appear as:
(Weiser et al. 2016, 2017a, b, c)
My csl code is:
Is it possible to achieve what I'm after? So for same year, same first author, multi-author citations I want the in-text order of appearance to override anything else for sort order. And for a first instance of a grouped citation, I want them to sort a, b, c irregardless of anything else.
Thanks for any help!

<key macro="author" names-min="1" names-use-first="1"/>So I think you'll want something like
<sort><key macro="author" names-min="1" names-use-first="1"/>
<key macro="issued-year"/
<key variable="citation-number"/>
</sort>
For both bibliography and citation.
(where "issued-year" may have a different name: it should be the macro rendering just the citation year). I think that should work, but haven't tested.

The result I wanted is
eg (Basnyat et al., 2018a; Basnyat et al., 2018b) but I get the result (B. Basnyat et al., 2018 a; Bijendra Basnyat et al., 2018 b). How can I get the correct citation?
You need to make the author name consistent for the items in your library.
