Upgrade StorageSame author different year citations appear out of order in bibliography
Hi I'm using Zotero 2.0 and the word toolbar/plugin with Word 2003 on Windows XP. When I generate a bibliography multiple citations for the same author appear out of order, as in the example below. I am using a version of chicago (author date) modified so that disambiguation is switched off. However the problem also appears when I refresh in other styles. If anybody has an idea of how to fix this I would be grateful. Any replies in simple language please I am relatively inexperienced with computers etc.
Cheers
Martin

For my article, I use four papers with the same first author. According to the demands of the journal I intend to submit to (http://www.atmospheric-chemistry-and-physics.net/submission/manuscript_preparation.html), the labels should look like this:
(Rhee et al., 2004)
The paper on CH4 oxidation (Rhee et al., 2006a)
The paper on soils (Rhee et al., 2006b)
(Rhee et al., 2008)
And the bibliography like this:
Rhee, T. S., Mak, J., Röckmann, T. and Brenninkmeijer, C. A. M.: Continuous-flow isotope analysis of the deuterium/hydrogen ratio in atmospheric hydrogen, Rapid Commun. Mass Spectrom., 18(3), 299-306, doi:10.1002/rcm.1309, 2004.
Rhee, T. S., Brenninkmeijer, C. A. M., Braß, M. and Brühl, C.: Isotopic composition of H2 from CH4 oxidation in the stratosphere and the troposphere, J. Geophys. Res., 111, 14 PP., doi:200610.1029/2005JD006760, 2006a.
Rhee, T. S., Brenninkmeijer, C. A. M. and Röckmann, T.: The overwhelming role of soils in the global atmospheric hydrogen cycle, Atmos. Chem. Phys., 6(6), 1611-1625, 2006b.
Rhee, T. S., Brenninkmeijer, C. A. M. and Röckmann, T.: Hydrogen isotope fractionation in the photolysis of formaldehyde, Atmos. Chem. Phys., 8(5), 1353-1366, 2008.
However, I get this for the labels:
(Rhee et al., 2004)
The paper on CH4 oxidation (Rhee et al., 2006)
The paper on soils (Rhee et al., 2006)
(Rhee et al., 2008)
And this for the bibliography:
Rhee, T. S., Brenninkmeijer, C. A. M. and Röckmann, T.: The overwhelming role of soils in the global atmospheric hydrogen cycle, Atmos. Chem. Phys., 6(6), 1611-1625, 2006.

So the bibliography is in the wrong order, and the papers from the same year do not get the appropriate `a' or `b' added to the year. These problems are probably related.
I have a suspicion that Zotero may not recognize the first author correctly, but I cannot find any difference in the `author' fields in the entries in the library.
The adding of `a' and `b' has worked for other papers before. I tried different styles, but that doesn't solve this sorting problem.
I would be very grateful if someone could give me a clue on how to solve this, as I was rather hoping to avoid manually ordering and editing my bibliography (I'm using Zotero to save time after all).
Cheers,
Anneke
switch the first two items around in the <sort> section of the bibliography to change that,
i.e. turn this
<sort>
<key macro="author"/>
<key macro="year-date"/>
<key variable="title"/>
</sort>
into this
<sort>
<key macro="year-date"/>
<key macro="author"/>
<key variable="title"/>
</sort>
see here for instructions
http://www.zotero.org/support/csl_simple_edits
That will take care of the other issue, too.
(Though technically that 2nd one is a bug - but since you want the bibliography ordered by date anyway that doesn't matter here). Since it's very rare and fixed in the current beta I don't think this should concern us further.
edit: oh wait that doesn't work - you'd want the bibliography by author in general, of course. uhm - I don't know then...

(Edit: One thing to check, with respect to citations in the style code posted by mdoube, is whether the data contains differing month or day values. When sorting dates as a raw variable, the entire date will be included in the sort, not just the portion of it that is rendered.)
Does this work?
To test, I converted the style to CSL 1.0 (which Zotero will do internally). I then threw the following data at it, and got the following results:
>> Citation
Data: Jane Roe 1996 / Jane Roe 1995
Result:
(Roe, 1995; 1996)>> Bibliography
Data: Jane Roe 1996 / Jane Roe 1995
Result:
<div class="csl-bib-body"><div class="csl-entry">Roe, J., 1995.</div>
<div class="csl-entry">Roe, J., 1996.</div>
</div>
Unless I'm missing something, it looks like the processor is working okay.

According to the Copernicus Publications Reference Types list, these should have been sorted by first author, then by year, then by second order (http://www.atmospheric-chemistry-and-physics.net/submission/manuscript_preparation.html).
How are these handled by the processor?

if you're going to edit a style for 2.1, it'd be worth it to (auto) convert it to csl 1.0
http://citationstyles.org/downloads/upgrade-notes.html#updating-csl-0-8-styles
and work with that.
Essentially, you need an initial sort key that is the first author's name, so that works by the same primary author are grouped together (the style guide doesn't say this explicitly, but that is clearly what is intended). The second sort key is generated by a macro that evaluates to 1, 2 or 3, depending on whether there are 1, 2 or 3-or-more authors. Then you need a third key that includes the first author (if there is only one), the first and second authors (if there are two), or the first author only (if there are three or more). If you add a final key for the date, things should come out as expected.
In CSL 0.8, it is not possible to sort on the number of authors, which is why you need to code this one in CSL 1.0.
Implementing the full sorting scheme that the EGU wants seems a bit complicated for me, but I see that I can cheat a little by giving potentially problematic same-author-papers in my database a one-letter `abstract' and use that as a sort key. Since my database does not contain hundreds of such papers (yet), that is still manageable.
