add first name (of author and editor) to bibliography only

VMoritz
Hello, I am using a modified Austrian legal cls in combination with an AZR and for now, I was able to edit all the changes I had to make. However, I still do have on a problem regarding the bibliography: there I would like to have also the first name - so I know I have to change something there " " but If I delete parts first names also appear of course in the footnotes (like in the first situation etc). Is there any other easy way how I could add the first names ONLY to the bibliography?

    You need separate author macros for in-text and the bibliography. To say more we'd have to see the style code (post to pastebin.com , hastebin.com or so and link here)

    Basically just create a new macro, authors-bib (or whatever you want to call it), copy the entire authors macro in it and remove the form="short" on name.

    Then replace any text macro="authors" in the bibliography section with text macro="authors-bib"

    my bibliography must be sorted alphabetically - do you have also a tip for me, how I could manage this in "my modified style". I read a lot, but for now, I found only options - including also numeric sorting. Currently, they appear in the order they are entered in Zotero.

    At the bottom of your style you'll have the bibliography section and typically the first thing in there is a sort section. You can specify variables or whole macros to be used for sorting there.
    You might have it sorted by macro=issued and then macro=author there which gives you'd chronological sorting. Switch those and it should alphabetical.
    If it DOESN'T have a sort section you can add one simply. Check out some random other styles and you'll how that's done. :)
