Upgrade StorageWord plugin Bibliography sorting
Different styles sort their Bibliography in different ways. The Harvard Reference Format 1 sorts by Author, and the IEEE style sorts by occurunce (first reference receives Number 1).
Currently I'm writing an article which requires a numbered reference style (IEEE), but the bibliography should be sorted by author. I managed to create my own IEEE-style which does just that, but since those are the 2 most common sorts maybe that should be an option in Word (and Open Office)? To be able to sort the bibliography on occurence and Author.

marktm: Could you share the steps you took to create your custom style?
Zotero sorts the bibliography by place of reference rather than alphabetically. Is there a way to alter this? I am unable to see an option for that either in the citation manager plugin or in the style generator.
Anyone have any idea? Perhaps I'm missing something really simple...

in the bibliography-element, the following code specifies the way references are sorted in, you guessed it, the bibliography
<sort><key macro="author"/>
<key variable="issued"/>
</sort>
Some info on how to edit styles by hand:

That works properly in Word now. It takes some messing as one has to ensure that one points to the correct variables.
The simplest way seems to be just to edit it using notepad++, adding in the text you mention above and editing it slightly to fit the local variables.
Again, thanks.
