Upgrade StorageSorting for export translators
Hi,
I've written a small export translator for a custom latex-based report (basically I wanted something more "dense" than the HTML report, with notes). It works well enough for a first run, but the exported items are not sorted on output. Is there a way to have the Zotero.nextItem() function follow the sorting applied to the main window?
Thanks!

pferrandBumping, just in case.. :)

c.cinDid you get any solution to this ?

adamsmithThere's no way to affect sorting on export I'm afraid.
-
pferrandThat's what I found iirc. So no solution!

emilianoeheynsedited May 1, 2019Export translators can choose to do sorting, you just have to build the entire output in memory rather that using Zotero.write immediately. So possible, but it comes at a cost (memory use, speed). The order in which items are handed out by nextItem is fixed (and stable), and cannot be changed.
