New to zotero and my apologies if this has been discussed my times but a search did not turn up anything obvious.

I often find I want to sort items from journals by both volumne number and issue number for journals that restart numbering with each puishing year (or volumne number). But I cannot figure out how to do this. It seems to be either one or the other, making it impossible to see all the articles in a single issue as a group when one has many articles from a journal spanning many years.

I could sort by date but that does not help if the publisher/journal does not provide a publication month but only a year in its citation info (example: reference data downloaded directly from wiley & sons online losting for the journal Architectural Design). I know I could enter such fields manually but that is super time consuming for dozens of entires or more.

I know I can do a custom search but can be a bit cumbersome and there are times when I want to see all the entries for a journal but all sorted as above.

Any suggestions welcome! Thanks
