alphabetical order et al.
Hi all
I am trying to modify the existing Nature file, but I am having (of course!) some trouble.
First I would like to sort the bibliography by alphabetical order so I simply added these code lines
<sort>
<key macro="author"/>
<key variable="issued"/>
</sort>
but when I refresh the bibliography using the Zotero command in my Word document, nothing happens.
Second I would like that citations in the text appear in brackets and with the same size of the main text (not as exponent), what should I do?
I paste here the code, hoping someone can help me
Thanks a lot
Rachele

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
For the brackets and not superscript, take this
<layout vertical-align="sup" delimiter=",">
<text variable="citation-number"/>
</layout>
and change to
<layout delimiter="," prefix="[" suffix="]">
<text variable="citation-number"/>
</layout>
for the first issue, finally it works
However, I did what you also suggest for the second issue, but it still does not work, the citations are in brackets but still as superscript...
Thanks a lot
Rachele
What usually works to fix this is to switch to a note-based style like Chicago Manual of Style (full note) and back.
thanks a lot...
