BibTeX export: @incollection uses editor rather than author [solved]

When eporting a book section to BibTeX, Zotero creates the BibTeX key with the book editor rather than the chapter author. For an @incollection item, it would seem more natural to use the chapter author (if available) rather than the book editor.

Previously mentioned in a rather old thread: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/4331/bibtex-importexport-problems/
  • The translator uses the first "creator" for the key. You can organize your creator list so that authors are listed first.
  • ...by clicking on the label (i.e. "Editor" "Author" etc. and selecting "move up" or "move down" from the context menu).
  • Thanks; that wasn't obvious.
