small changes to American Medical Association csl needed
Hello everybody,
for writing my thesis I need a special citation style. It's like American Medical Association, just a little different. I guess I'm too stupid to get this working by myself so I thought I'll ask here.
The AMA style uses numbers like footnotes for citations. The numbers (and hence the bibliography) are sorted by occurrence in the paper. So what I cite first will be first in my bibliography.
What I need to have is an alphabetical sorting by author. So the author alphabetically first in my bibliography gets a "1", no matter where he is cited or who is cited first.
Can anybody give me a hint what to change in the AMA csl? Is there a reasonable CSL editor out there that I missed?
Simply changing <sort> <key macro="author" /> </sort> in ama.csl did not work ...
Thanks in advance!

The only thing you need to do is change
et-al-min="7" to some arbitrary high number like et-al-min="1000"
follow the instructions to change filename, id, and title and you're good to go.
Thank you so much for your fast help!!!
