De Buck citation style

Hi,
I have a problem with changing the format of the De Buck style.
1. First, it struck me that almost all styles sort the title of an author in a bibliography in alphabetical order. De Buck is no exception and I would like to change that to a chronological order.
2. Secondly, most styles (e.g. MHRA) change automatically the first letters of key words in a title to capitals if it is indicated that it concerns an English title. However, De Buck doesn't do that.
3. Thirdly, I would like that De Buck adds 'dl.' of 'vol.' if it the title is part of a work of several volumes.
I am sorry that I don't know how exactly to change the code of the De Buck style to obtain the desired output so I hope you can help.
Best wishes,
Mario

What does the style guidelines say regarding this? Can you share a link that showcases this behaviour?

I only see links to the style, no actual guidelines.

The guidelines are in a book in Dutch which is not in line. In fact, the current stylesheet is in some respects already not in line with the 'original' (e.g. the incorporation of the publisher is not in the original guidelines). So I propose we move on or create a separate stylesheet?

A style should be correct, so your suggestion of creating a second style is not what we want.

You can try contacting the creator of the style to make an update.
