Upgrade StorageIssue Secondary Sort
Hi,
Apart from the fact that a "search by first author" would be highly needed, I am having trouble with the sort feature and secondary sort.
As a workaround to not being able to search by first author, I usually search the author, and then sort by authors.
I recently discovered the Secondary Sort and picked "Year", but it seems it does not work or sort incorrectly.
I get several "Smith et al." sorted in random year orders (e.g. 1999, 2017, 2005).
Is it sorting by authors based on the short citation ("Smith et al.") or based on the whole list of authors (which most likely differs from papers to papers)?
The wanted behavior would be by short citation, similar to what is done in research papers.
Any fix or ways to achieve what I am looking for?
