Harvard in Author-Date Order

nagig · February 8, 2013

Hi

Really hope you can help - I have used Harvard 1 & Harvard 3 styles but my bibliogrpahy only sorts alphabetically and not chronologically -

I have searched discussion groups who were referred to this page
http://www.zotero.org/support/csl_simple_edits?s[]=csl - but the link is broken -

in any case am afraid I am not too good with coding, and am hoping that there might be a style that can do this for me - any ideas please?

Thank You

As for the broken link: http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step

You can use the visual editor: add a "Sort" key under Bibliography->Sort in the left pane (make sure to add it before the other sort options, 'author' and 'title'). To sort by year, you've to change, in the bottom pane, the type to 'macro' and, then, the macro to 'year-date'.

Thanks Gracile - I updated the code - or so I thought added it to standaleone Zotero 03.012 reset doc prefs for revised format& added bibliography but got an error;

Zotero experienced an error updating your document
