A user on zotero.org recently reported a problem with sorting in Chicago Manual of Style (note). No need to review the discussion (it's a longish thing), but the link to it is here:
http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/23276/different-works-by-same-author-listed-without-dash-replacing-authors-name/#Item_33 The short story is that several styles in the repo use composite keys created by a macro, like: <macro name="sort-key"> <group delimiter=" "> <text macro="contributors-sort"/> <text variable="title"/> <text variable="genre"/> </group> </macro> It is very unlikely that style guides will expect author names and a following title to be treated as a single sort key -- see the screenshots linked from the discussion thread above for some examples of what happens when that's done. If I remember correctly, the early CSL processor in Zotero had problems sorting on more than two keys, and that may be why these macros were introduced. The individual elements of these macros should now be broken out to separate sort keys, after checking through them manually to see what they are trying to do. Here is an initial list of 21 obvious malefactors: chicago-annotated-bibliography.csl chicago-dated-note-biblio-no-ibid.csl chicago-fullnote-bibliography.csl chicago-fullnote-bibliography-no-ibid.csl chicago-library-list.csl chicago-note-biblio-no-ibid.csl international-organization.csl inter-ro.csl irish-historical-studies.csl law1-de.csl mcrj7.csl mla-notes.csl national-archives-of-australia.csl radiopaedia.csl romanian-humanities.csl sbl-fullnote-bibliography.csl society-for-general-microbiology.csl turabian-fullnote-bibliography.csl universidad-evangelica-del-paraguay.csl universita-di-bologna-lettere.csl wheaton-college-phd-in-biblical-and-theological-studies.csl It's not an urgent thing -- complaints have been very slow to emerge, which is kind of surprising -- but since the problem is clear it should be fixed up as and when we have time to spare. Since I've raised my hand about the issue, I'll be happy to help out, of course.
