comment Column-style bibliography
As for institution/organisation, biblatex manual recommends (2.3.3) using the author/editor/shortauthor/shorteditor fields for corporate names. Is this what you need? I added few entries as examples, please check them in the test PDF above.

Well, I tried to avoid creating a new style but it's becoming messy. So I made finally a new style biblatex-columnar and put it on bitbucket. It's based on the authoryear style. Please check a compiled test. As for your questions, biblatex is quite powerful and has a number of means to regulate the output on a per entry basis. I think we need to see if they are enough for your particular needs (I hope so). I doubt that a general solution is possible.

It is possible, but is it necessary? If you have a style, this should be defined by the style. To hand this over to the user is hardly a good idea. I edited the answer, you can see how it may look for the standard biblatex style (I also printed the entrytypes just for information, they should be removed later, of course).

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by hooks, but yes, there is a macro \ifentrytype which you can use to check the type of the current entry.

3) In the example you provided when the author is absent the editor is printed. When the editor is absent as well, nothing is printed, just a space. Is this correct? 4) Sometimes an organisation is printed in the first column. What is its field in the database, is it author, organisation, editor? 5) You differentiate between Source and Title. In case of books, collections, proceedings cited as a whole should we print their title as Source or as Title?

Sure, let's try to do this (I also need something similar :). Could you then provide some additional information: 1) What biblatex style suits you needs best? Is it a standard style, APA or whatever? (It's better to modify a proper style from the very beginning). 2) So, you need 5 columns: Author/Editor, Year (or full date?), Title+Page, Journal/Source, Backref. Right?

In fact, it needs quite a lot of adjustments. For example, the macro in the first column might be something like \usebibmacro{author/editor+others/translator+others}, it may depend on the entrytype, the year in the last column may be printed or not and so on. These are all style requirements which are difficult to decide in advance.

Yes, sure. I just copied it from the .cls above. As for the additional column, this demands specific decisions concerning the style --- what is the Source, what to do with books (when Source and Title are the same) etc. The answer is just an idea which should be definitely adjusted.

Certainly, it would be better to use the longtable package here, but unfortunately I couldn't cope with it. Perhaps someone else will.

You probably need to add the \par command, see my correction of the code. I also replaced tabu with a less "exotic" tabularx. The bib file is actually from the biblatex distribution: mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex/bibtex/bib/….

UPD: I created the dev directory on Sourceforge. You may use it instead of repo.
