Two related issues were raised on the Zotero forums:

http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/25637/

1) Should name variable labels be ignored for sorting?

Previously, citeproc-js included the labels in the sort keys, which
would give results like

Pollitt, C. and Bouckaert, G. (2004)
Pollitt, C. and Bouckaert, G. (eds.) (1995)

when sorting on the author macro and ascending on date of issue. The
consensus of the thread seems to be that it is preferable to ignore
the labels instead for sorting, so we would get

Pollitt, C. and Bouckaert, G. (eds.) (1995)
Pollitt, C. and Bouckaert, G. (2004)

2) Should name variable labels be ignored when applying subsequent
author substitution?

Previously, citeproc-js would produce

Jones, Jim. 2011a. *A Title*. Location: Publisher.
———. 2011b. *C Title*. Location: Publisher.
Jones, Jim, ed. 2011c. *B Title*. Location: Publisher.

with subsequent-author-substitute active. The Zotero thread consensus
seems to be that it would be preferable to get

Jones, Jim. 2011a. *A Title*. Location: Publisher.
———. 2011b. *C Title*. Location: Publisher.
———, ed. 2011c. *B Title*. Location: Publisher.

---

Unless anybody objects within the next few days to either of these
proposed changes I'll modify the CSL specification accordingly.
