Bilbliography in chronological order

Is there an available citation style that sorts the bibliography in chronological order instead of author name? If yes, which one?
Thanks!

I don't think we have one online, no.
<sort>
<key variable="issued"/>
</sort>
in the sort section of the bibliography will do it, though.

You may just want to add <key variable="issued"/> as the first line of the sort section (rather than replacing the section), so that citations with the same issued date will still be sorted by author.

Cheers. I'll try my luck with this - in about two weeks time - and report the results of my endeavors.

check my post above again - I had messed up the formatting and lost a key part, should be clearer now.

That went pretty well. I changed Chicago author/date to sort chronologically descending first and then by author.
<sort>
<key variable="issued" sort="descending"/>
<key macro="contributors"/>
</sort>
Thanks again.
