Style Error: American Physiological Society

The Zotero style for the American Physiological Society sorts the references in the bibliography alphabetically by authors' last names and ignores the "particles" (if that is the correct name, I am referring to those little parts in front of the last name, such as "von", "van", "de", "den", "tom" etc.). There is no clear information about the correct sorting on the website of the APS, but we just had an article copyedited there where they re-sorted the bibliography by particles, such that names starting with "von" were sorted under V, names starting with "den" under D etc.
If I understand the CSL correctly, this behavior can be achieved by changing the code in the first line from
demote-non-dropping-particle="sort-only"
to
demote-non-dropping-particle="never"

Can this be changed in the repository?

    Thank you for reporting this issue.
    I have submitted a fix for it: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/pull/4309

    (Making these changes are pretty easy. They'll also be reviewed, so if you want you can just submit a fix yourself next time. Happy to walk you through it.)
  • Wow, that was fast. Thanks a lot! I'll try to keep this in mind and use GitHub next time I spot an issue - might be kind of hard to remember, though, since usually the styles work flawlessly :)
