Re: More problems sorting bibtex/Lyx output
Hello and Thank you for your replies! I have tested the solutions. I use a Swedish style, sweplnat, that (generally) works well. When I try Günther's solution, Shött disappears from the Bibliography. It may be that I am not enough familiar with LyX and make some basic mistake. I have looked into Wolfgang's solution, but I must do some checking up on how to install/run Biblatex and Biber first. I will do more tests and perhaps drop Zotero/LyZ and test JabRef. I also think I must learn more LyX. It is truly a fantastic program, but is sometimes a bit strange for a newcomer! Thank you very much! Hej! Påvel Den 2010-09-22 09:12:17 skrev Guenter Milde : On 2010-09-21, Påvel Nicklasson wrote: Hello again!

I have several authors with different non English characters in their names. How do I get them sorted in correct order in the Lyx bibliography? An example is: 1. Author: Schött 2.

Indeed. You could try if there is a "swedish ..." style that solves this for you, or you can help bibtex, e.g. with the suggestion from btxdoc.pdf: in the database (*.bib) file: @PREAMBLE{ "\newcommand{\noopsort}[1]{} " # "\newcommand{\singleletter}[1]{#1} " } author = {{\noopsort{Harald Sch~tt}}Harald Sch{\"o}tt} . . . author = {Henrik Sch{\"u}ck} LaTeX will then ignore the \noopsort, but BibTeX will use it for sorting.

More problems sorting bibtex/Lyx output
Hello again! I asked earlier about how to handle Swedish letters in lyx/bibtex: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg82909.html. The solution works fine. Now I have run into a similar problem. I have several authors with different non English characters in their names. How do I get them sorted in correct order in the Lyx bibliography? An example is: 1. Author: Schött 2. Author: Schück In Sweden ö is the last character in the alphabet and Schött should thus be sorted after Schück. The output file in Lyx does it the other way around, like above. Schött is written: {Harald Sch{"o}tt} in the .bib file Schück is written: {Henrik Sch{\"{u}}ck} in the .bib file I have several similar cases. Swedish seems to be a hard language to use with bibtex. Sorry to bother with Swedish newbie problems! Best Regards Påvel Nicklasson
