Citation style that allows you to sort bibliography in chronological order

Is there one? I can't find any evidence. Someone wants to sort her bibliography in chronological order by year. Thanks.

I don't think there is one, no, but it's easy enough to do
<sort>
<key variable="issued"/>
</sort>
right before the <layout> tag of the bibliography section of the style

thanks for the tip. I tried doing what you said with the MLA style but it didn't work. I certainly could have done something wrong, though.

that works in general in MLA
this is how the respective passage should look in MLA
<bibliography>
<option name="hanging-indent" value="true"/>
<option name="et-al-min" value="4"/>
<option name="et-al-use-first" value="1"/>
<option name="line-spacing" value="2"/>
<option name="subsequent-author-substitute" value="---"/>
<sort>
<key variable="issued"/>
<key macro="author"/>
<key variable="title"/>
</sort>
<layout suffix=".">

Thanks Adam! That worked. I had put the code in the wrong place. Appreciate your help with this.
