Year and Author reversed for in-text citation
Hello,
I am writing for the Journal of the Geological Society and have installed a style from https://www.zotero.org/styles/the-geological-society-of-london . It is great, except it places the year before the author for in-text citations e.g. (2016 Smith et al.) when it should read (Smith et al., 2016).
I have never edited a CSL before, but think I have located the relevant line:
This should place the author first then the date right? Yet it doesn't seem to.
Additionally I am missing a comma.
The in-text citation does seem to work fine using other CSL's (e.g. The Open University Harvard) but all of the CSL's designed for the Geological Society of London publications produce the same result.
Any guidance at all hugely appreciated!

tags for it to show up.We can definitely fix the style in the repository. Can you post a link to the current correct author guidelines?
[LESS THAN SYMBOL] category citation-format="author-date"/ [MORE THAN SYMBOL]
The author guidlines can be found at the publisher's site on pages 3 to 4 of the following .pdf.

Essentialy it is a form of Harvard citation, at least as far as the in-text part goes.
Thank you!

Thank you!
Yes, I have a recent example. The following is from the references list of:
Jin, X., McRoberts, C.A., et al. 2019. The aftermath of the CPE and the Carnian–Norian transition in northwestern Sichuan Basin, South China. Journal of the Geological Society, jgs2018-104, https://doi.org/10.1144/jgs2018-104.
As you can see Li L.Q. and Li M. are different people but are disambiguated by letter suffixes on the year of publication (2017a, 2017b).
