Harvard-Style: Sort References by year
Hey,
I'm using the Englisch Harvard Style for my bachelor thesis.
Im writing with Word and want to sort references by year and not by author.
It should be like:
The sky is blue (Miller, 2009; Schenk, 2007; Graham, 2002).
Instead of this, the order is (Graham, 2002; Miller, 2009; Schenk, 2007).
I know where I can change the order of the references in the bibliography, but not where I can change the order of references in the text.
Can someone help me, please?
Thanks,
Sasse

If there is no sort section, you can just add one (after citation, before layout).
Something like this (adapt to the macros in your style, of course) should work:
<sort>
<key macro="year-date"/>
<key macro="author-short"/>
</sort>
thank You! I have just tried year, and it didn't work.
I will try your solution in the afternoom :)
I'm using this one: Elsevier Harvard (with titles).
<sort>
<key macro="author"/>
<key macro="issued" sort="descending"/>
</sort>
to
<sort>
<key macro="issued" sort="descending"/>
<key macro="author"/>
</sort>
In both cases you use "author"?
Thanks for the great Support!
when using different authors, sorting references by year in ascending order works.
But how can i force the order, when using the Same author?
e.g. Graham, 2001a,b
And Not Graham 2001b,a?
<key variable="citation-number"/>
as a third sort key to sort items by the same author in the same year by order of appearance (you could also use another variable if you like). Currently it is sorting them by the order you entered them in the citation (i.e., not sorting them in any way after author and year are considered).I have edited the citation. In the preview it Looks fine, but when I use it for my text, it does not work.
I tried closing word ans zotero, but i have still the same problem...
If you still have a problem, have you changed the style ID and name in the edited style to ensure that you have selected the correct style and that the edits aren't being overwritten?
