Thank you. So, if I uderstand properly, I can determine other "sequence of criteria", ie have all entries first sorted according to issue date and then, within each year, according to contributor's name and so on? And what is "genre"? Is it the type of document (ie book, article from periodical, legal case etc)? So, is it possible to automatically sort all cases/books/articles, then, within those categories, have all sorted accoring to date (or year)?

Hello,

I actually have something like this in Zotero Reference Test pane (when I choose Chicago Full Note from drop-down menu, before any edits):

<bibliography hanging-indent="true" et-al-min="11" et-al-use-first="7" subsequent-author-substitute="———" entry-spacing="0">
<sort>
<key macro="sort-key"/>
<key variable="issued"/>
</sort>
<layout suffix=".">
<group delimiter=". ">
<text macro="contributors"/>
<text macro="title"/>
<text macro="description"/>
<text macro="secondary-contributors"/>
<group delimiter=", ">
<text macro="container-title"/>
<text macro="container-contributors"/>
<text macro="locators-chapter"/>
</group>
</group>
<text macro="locators"/>
<text macro="collection-title" prefix=". "/>
<text macro="issue"/>
<text macro="locators-newspaper" prefix=", "/>
<text macro="locators-journal"/>
<text macro="access" prefix=". "/>
</layout>
</bibliography>

And the result is something like this:
Auby, Jean-Bernard. „The EU and Global Administrative Law”. W The European Union Legal Order after Lisbon, zredagowane przez Patrick Birkinshaw i Mike Varney. Alphen aan den Rijn, 2010.
Bast, Jürgen. „Legal Instruments”. W Principles of European Constitutional Law, zredagowane przez Armin von Bogdandy i Jürgen Bast. Oxford, 2006.
Burton, S. J. „Particularism, Discretion and the Rule of Law”. W The Rule of Law, zredagowane przez I. Shapiro. New York, 1994.
Caranta, Roberto. „On Discretion”. W The Coherence of EU Law. The Search for Unity in Divergent Concepts, zredagowane przez Sacha Prechal i Bert van Roermund. Oxford, b.d.

I do not like it very much, because of (not to mention the main question of chronological sorting):
- capitalised "W" ("IN") instead of "w", or even better: "[w:]" or "w:",
- mysterious "b.d" (I do not know, what it means... no data or something?) Can I make it disappear even if I do not input this data?
- "zredagowane przez" ("edited by")- this does not go well with the followng names, since in Polish the names should be in accusativus, not in nominativus. It would be best to leave names as they are, and substitute "zredagowane przez" with "red.".

I understand of course, that this problems are not really connected to the original question, but maybe you could give me a hint?

Thank you, now it worked fine.

Do you have any suggestions as to the other questions in my previous post (you replied before I saved changes to my last post)?

Adam,

Thank you for the reply.

As regards "no date" and why should I like to remove it - in cases when I refer to rulings of the Court of Justice of the European Union I had to work out my own "style" (or rather "workaround"), in which I include the date in "author" field (which might sound strange, but I did not have much time and I found it less time consuming to do it this way, than to learn how to edit my own style). The result is that there is a date in the footnote, so "n.d." is not neccessary. But I hope I can remove it in word processor in the final version without much effort (by find/replace), so probably I won't attempt to make any changes to the style.

Regarding Polish translation - it is fine, except that the full version ("zredagowane przez"="edited by" does not accord with editor's name, which follows in nominativus; if his name is, for instance, "Adam Smith" the result should be "zredagowane przez Adama Smitha", not "zredagowane przez Adam Smith"). But I presume that changing the name form is pretty hard, so substituting "zredagowane przez" (full form) with "red." (short form) would be enough.

You Poles sure know how to make things complicated. :)

I doubt that we will soon include support for modifying names based on declension in CSL, if ever. So, just to make certain, you're saying that "red. Adam Smith" is correct in Polish, but that the unabbreviated "zredagowane przez" should be accompanied by an "a" after "Adama Smith"? (resulting in "zredagowane przez Adama Smitha")
