Problems with given name initial in a list

edited 3 days ago
I would like to have the format last name, first name initial in my bibliography for translators. I have set the following:

names variable="translator"
name initialize-with=". " name-as-sort-order="first"
label form="short" prefix=", "
/names

This results in only the first entry in a list being "last name, first name initial". Subsequent names in the list are "first name initial, last name"

Can someone help me see what is going on here?
  • You want
    <name initialize-with=". " name-as-sort-order="all" delimiter-precedes-last="always"/>

  • Thank you for the help.

    Validator says that delimiter-precedes-last="always" cannot be used with name.
    The problem is solved without this last entry.

  • It's not needed here (we don't use the property unless the and attribute is set), but it's certainly valid CSL on name, so not sure what happened there.
