"Create bibliography from items" list sorted incorrectly (first-author)

z8080

I have a collection of items I'd like to export as a list of references. I sorted the list by Year in Zotero, and used the "Create bibliography from items" command. However, when I paste this into a word processor, the items are always sorted by first author's surname, and not by Year. Indeed, no other sorting rule that I apply in Zotero is followed.

The list is long enough that resorting it manually isn't really an option.

Using Zotero 6.0 on Windows 10. Thanks for any help.

That will be affected by the citation style you're using for the export. If that sort by author name, the created bibliography will do so, too.

You can use a numeric style like IEEE that should render it in your sort order or create a custom style or find another style that does that out of the box.

Ah yes that makes sense. Thanks!
