About the sorting order of bibliography

dantigone
I have a seemly stupid question. When using Zotero in Word, is it possible to sort the Chinese bibliography (in Chinese characters) when the export locale is still in en-US?

I have tried APA, Chicago and MLA. The Chinese bibliography in these styles are not in the right order. I wonder how they have sorted. Of course I could change the local language into Chinese, but it's much more bothering to revise the mainly part of the English Bibliography (like such words as 'in','eds','retrieved', et al.).

    What sort ordering do you need for the Chinese entries? (Unicode code point order, pinyin, or other?)
  • dantigone
    Yes, in the order of Pinyin (of the author's family name). Usually it's a custom in Chinese paper writing.

    For that, you will need to use an unofficial variant of Zotero that supports Asian languages and multilingual referencing. The latest version of it is called "Juris-M" (formerly "Multilingual Zotero"), and is available here:

    https://juris-m.github.io/downloads

    The "Library Client" linked in that page is an early release, but it should work for you. There is a bit of a learning curve with the multilingual functionality, but that's the nature of the beast. If you have any questions, feel free to post back here.

    OK. I've heard something about Multilingual Zotero. It's really a good idea. Maybe I should have a try in my next paper.
    Many thanks.
