Classify the bibliography following to language

hongha308
Hello every body,

in my university, when building the bibliography for a thesis, we have to classify the article following to language, for example, firstly we show all vietnamese articles and then, enlish articles, finally, we show all website.

I don't know how to do this with zotero.

Could you help me?

Thank a lot in advance.

    if you have something in the "language" field for each Zotero item, you can add
    <key variable="language"/>
    as the first sort key for the bibliography.
    This would looks something like this:
    <bibliography hanging-indent="true" et-al-min="8" et-al-use-first="6" et-al-use-last="true" entry-spacing="0" line-spacing="2">
    <sort>
    <key variable="language"/>
    <key macro="author"/>
    <key macro="issued-sort" sort="ascending"/>
    </sort>

    for APA style - other styles work similarly. This isn't valid CSL, but it will work.
    See here for general instructions:

    Is there a way to sort just the websites (independent of language) to the bottom? I don't think so. But I guess you could hack the language field for that.
  • adamsmith
    there would be, but that'd be more complex. You can create a sort key based on type and sort by that first as per http://blogs.eui.eu/zotero/sort-a-bibliography-by-type.html , then by language.

    Ah, I see. I didn't think about setting the sort value using <text .../> fields. Neat.

    Thanks a lot, it seems complex. I will try and I hope that I can do this. If not, I will ask you later.
