Upgrade Storagehow to change order of particle in author's name
I recently started to use a German legal scholar style of zotero called:
"Juristische Zitierweise (Stüber)" https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=Juristische Zitierweise (Stüber)&fields=law
My problem ist when citing for example a journal article of a person with a particle in his or her name, e.g. Ferdinand von Schirach, I want the last name both in the footnote and in the bibliography to appear as "von Schirach" / "von Schirach, Ferdinand" and NOT as "Schirach, von" / "Schirach, von, Ferdinand".
Ironically, in this other style (which has other deficits), it works like that already:
"Mohr Siebeck - Recht (German - Austria)"
But I can't figure out how to change it in the (otherwise preferred) "Juristische Zitierweise (Stüber)".
Really appreciate any help!!

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
demote-non-dropping-particle="never"in the style toggles that. That's in the first line.Edited to fix typo spotted by fbennett below

I also didn't change anything apart from the field described (Global Formatting Options)...
<style xmlns="http://purl.org/net/xbiblio/csl" version="1.0" class="note" default-locale="de-DE" demote-non-dropping-particle="never">
(particle [singular], not particles [plural])
With the incorrect attribute name, the style should not validate for CSL 1.0.1 either (and it fails for me here). With the correct attribute name, the style validates okay, and in my test locally, journal articles include the starting page (or page range).
If you still have trouble after fixing that attribute name, post back and we'll dig a little deeper.
It must have been something else. The page range of articles is shown in the bibliography but the first page of the article doesn't appear in the footnotes.
I only changed the Global Formatting Options to demote-non-dropping-particle="never". I did it with 3 different files now to make sure it wasn't something else...
Maybe it's because it was a change in the Global Formatting Options so that it not only affect the author names but any particle?
1. Post a copy of the style that is failing to https://gist.github.com, and post the URL back here; and
2. Let us know the version of your Zotero client, and whether it is the Firefox plugin or Zotero Standalone.
@fharbou -- you modified the style using the visual editor, right? And you did that by searching for the style there and then editing it?
That version of the style is out of date. We only update the styles on the editor every 2-3 months.
The easiest would be to download the current style, e.g. from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/citation-style-language/styles/master/juristische-zitierweise.csl and then load it into the editor and modify it there.
I'm using the newest version (I assume) of Zotero with the firefox plugin...
