I might add that besides being consensus that it’s preferable—I’d
certainly agree—, it’s also mandatory for some styles, e.g., for the
Chicago Manual’s styles.

Besides, the sorting in the second example above is not quite right:
According to CMoS 16e, it should be “listed alphabetically by title”
(15.19):

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

(“15.18 The 3-em dash with edited, translated, or compiled works. The
3-em dash replaces the preceding name or names only, not an added ed.,
trans., comp., or whatever. The chronological order is maintained,
regardless of the added abbreviation.

15.19 Reference list entries with same author(s), same year. Two or
more works by the same author in the same year must be differentiated
by the addition of a, b, and so forth (regardless of whether they were
authored, edited, compiled, or translated), and are listed
alphabetically by title. Text citations consist of author and year
plus letter.”)

Finally, “compiler” is missing in CSL. Since CMoS refers to this role
throughout the manual, alongside editor and translator, it would
probably be a good idea to include it future versions of CSL.
