bibliography (not citations) in chronological order ?

mpv71
Hello
Everything is in the title. I would like to get some bibliographies on specific themes where the references are ordered in chronological, and not alphabetical, order. Is that possible ? These bibliographies are quite small so I can do it manually but an automatic way would be better of course.
Thanks.

    Of course that's possible.
    You'd edit or add the "sort" part of the bibliography section at the bottom of the style to something like this:

    <sort>
    <key variable="issued" sort="ascending"/>
    <key macro="author"/>
    <key macro="title"/>
    </sort>

    And if you don't particularly care which citation style, we have an APA version of this available (sorting newest first)

    Thanks a lot Damnation. I'm not used to modify style and when I've done what you say (by modifying the style I usually use), it worked but it modified the original style itself. I've given the modified style a new name with a "save as" but when I tried to get this new style in my list, it's the original one that is modified (I had to suppress it and reimport it). How to make a new style by adding it without changing the first one ? (Sorry I'm sure it must be a stupid thing...)
    Thank adamsmith but I do care for citation style :-)

    You need to change the style ID and title https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step#change_the_style_title_and_id

    I tried this, and the new style, with the modified title, appears in my list, but the original style has disappeared. And if I install the original again, the new disappears... ???

    you have actually changed the style ID as in the link? Not just the filename?

    DONE. I had confused the ID line with the line below.
    Thanks a lot.
