Hi - I'm wondering if there is, or could be, a way to sort the main table by author and year.
I realize that it is possible to do this by sorting by year first, and then switching back to sorting by author, but this is not remembered (understandably, since there's no way of telling what my intention was). iTunes has recently solved this problem by introducing a few fixed multiple sort criteria, I use "Album by Artist/Year" happily. Another, more general, option might be to explicitly allow multiple sort criteria as e.g. Numbers and Excel do. I don't have the skills to contribute myself -- maybe one day I will -- but in the meantime, maybe I could add this as a request for help (if the feature exists), or a new feature request (if it doesn't). Cheers, Jan P.S. A note on the recent papers/bibdesk discussion and the shininess factor: I tried Papers in the beginning, I think partly because of the "shininess" -- the cute little house construction when it started etc.. But then, in complete contrast to the clean look, I actually found it pretty messy with respect to the conceptual underpinning, particularly as witnessed by the initial complete inability to work with bibtex in any sensible way. I am a big fan of BibDesk and I'm not even tempted to give Papers another try. I'd trade its shiny mess for the well-thoughtout powerhouse with a look that one may perceiving as slightly more utilitarian any time again. That being said, I have a few friends who happily use Papers as a simple interface to access and somewhat catalogue their pdfs, which I assume it does nicely. So to some extent, I think the user bases of the two programs may be quite different. Anyway, a big Thank You! to all BibDesk contributors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.
