Zitat von Bruce D'Arcus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > But are you sure you don't have more complex rules for periodicals?
In the very rare case that a whole periodical is cited, not an article, the list entry looks like Publisher (Year): PeriodicalTitle ... and the very same rules apply: First item (publisher ) is first sort key, second item (year) is second sort key. Of course there are some specific types of reference lists as in my diploma thesis, that require a specific treatment, not only concerning the sorting. One example is something equivalent to a "Further reading" list, where I visually grouped references to web pages and web (pdf) documents according to the company they stem from and sorted (within each company) in an arbitrary thematic order. But I believe this is (a) too special and (b) impossible to automatise, so I wouldn't spend much time thinking about it. The user should simply sort such lists manually. PS. Speaking about manual sorting I just had an interesting idea: The user should in this case be able to use drag-and-drop in reference lists. So if the user thinks two items are in the wrong order, he/she could just drag them in the correct order (Like the Windows start menu items, for example.)
