Chicago (note) - not ordering footnotes with authors in any order
Hello -- I am using the Chicago (note) format and when I cite multiple authors in a single footnote, I would like the authors to appear chronologically, e.g. Smith 1998, Alan 2004, John 2010.
At the moment they are appearing neither chronologically nor alphabetically, just in the random order I listed them in the Zotero "add citation" bar.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help!

Note styles typically don't have much of a sorting set for the notes and will show them by the order they have been inserted.
You'll need to modify the style.
1. General instructions (read carefully!): https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step
2. You'll need to add a sort section.
Have a look at lines 1369-1374, as the bibliography has such a sort section. You can copy that and put it in line 1323 and adapt as necessarily.
Personally, I recommend manually sorting citations as desired for Chicago.
