New field for cases: Court division
Hello,
I'm encountering an issue with cases.
In the field "court", I'm adding the name of the court and the division (e.g.: "CE, Sect.": the "Section" is a division of the Conseil d'État) or its place (e.g., "TA Paris": Administrative Tribunal (TA) from Paris; "TA Lyon": Administrative Tribunal (TA) from Lyon, etc...)
But there are two issues:
-in a bibliography, the sorting is wrong. Indeed, for instance "CE, Ass." cases are always before "CE, Sect." whereas the sorting should only take into account "CE". In other words, the court division is not (or not always) a criteria.
-in the UI, the sorting is not useful (same reason).
A new field "Court division", with appropriate csl mapping, would solve these issues.
Thanks for comments.

...or worse... much more complicated. ;)
More seriously,
- Temporary solution: are you using your "extra" field for an other information?
- What "should" be your sorting criteria?
Examples:
CE, 27 janvier 1998, Bernard, n° 18544, Rec., p. 180.
CE, 12 mai 2007, Union, n° 30040.
CE, Ass., 20 février 2006, Association Ofretu, n° 25768.
CE, Sect., 27 novembre 1995, M. Géjus, Rec., p. 463.
CE, Sect., 25 mars 2003, SA Oukiley, n° 10833, Rec., p. 160.
As you can see above, "CE" (Conseil d'État) is before "CE, Ass." which is before "CE, Sect." whereas these cases are all CE-cases.The sorting should be:
CE, Sect., 27 novembre 1995, M. Géjus, Rec., p. 463.
CE, 27 janvier 1998, Bernard, n° 18544, Rec., p. 180.
CE, Sect., 25 mars 2003, SA Oukiley, n° 10833, Rec., p. 160.
CE, Ass., 20 février 2006, Association Ofretu, n° 25768.
CE, 12 mai 2007, Union, n° 30040.
What "field" for case are you referring to? Or do you mean the court field? (the call is "authority" - it's only used in a very few styles as only a couple of styles account for cases.
1) don't use extra for important data
2) I suggest you figure out a solution that is general; I don't want to add a "court-division" variable to CSL, and prefer to avoid adding anything if possible
Your (Isis) issue should be solveable within current Zotero/csl.

I'm encountering the same problem than Gracile and I'd like to know whether or not it would be possible to add to the type of document "case" a field that would allow me to add some precision to the location of the court (for lower courts, in France we specify the town) or the formation (=composition) of the court (e.g. a civil formation or a criminal one, etc.).
This new field could be named "court precision" in order to include the location of the court and its composition.
Thanks for your help.
"Court division" would work for court's town as well. No need to create two new fields.
