Update 5-Sep-2012: Sorry for highjacking this question, but as the status of the accepted selected answer has changed (now multiple sorting is implemented with biber/biblatex), and I think it is a good idea to update the answer of this question rather than me posting a new but nearly identical question.
The question is how have different portions or fragments of the bibliography (separated e.g. by type) appear under different headings and each with a different sort order.
I've tried using the sorting option of \printbibliography as suggested by PLK's answer bellow, but the numbers come out in the wrong order. Minimal example follows:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{biblatextest.bib}
@BOOK{BookA03,
author = {Author Aaa},
title = {Some Title},
publisher = {Some Publisher},
year = 2003
}
@BOOK{BookB02,
author = {Author Bbb},
title = {Some Title},
publisher = {Some Publisher},
year = 2002
}
@ARTICLE{PaperC04,
author = {Author Ccc},
title = {Some Title},
journal = {Some Journal},
year = 2004,
}
@ARTICLE{PaperD01,
author = {Author Ddd},
title = {Some Title},
journal = {Some Journal},
year = 2001,
}
\end{filecontents}
\usepackage[defernumbers=true]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatextest.bib}
\begin{document}
\textcite{PaperD01}
\textcite{PaperC04}
\textcite{BookB02}
\textcite{BookA03}
\printbibliography[title={Books},type=book,sorting=nty]
\printbibliography[title={Articles},type=article,sorting=ynt]
\end{document}
The order of the bibliography entries in the output is correct, but the numbers are not. I get: "Books [3] [2]" and "Articles [1] [4]", rather than "Books [1] [2]" and "Articles [3] [4]" as I would expect.
Using biblatex how would one sort different sections in the bibliography by different criteria e.g.
- Section A of biblio:
Sort by name, title, year, and - Section B of biblio:
Sort by year, name, title.
For instance Section A would be a list of books and Section B a list of Proceedings where the Proceedings should be sorted by year.
Comment:
Different sections of a bibliography can be separately sorted by using sorttitle={}, see the example here:
@PROCEEDINGS{Feldman2000,
title = {Feldman v Mexico, ICSID Case No. Arb(AF)/99/1 (NAFTA)},
year = {6 December 2000},
shorttitle = {Feldman v Mexico},
sorttitle = {2000}
}
@PROCEEDINGS{JoyMining2004,
title = {Joy Mining Machinery Limited v. Arab Republic of Egypt, ICSID Case
No. Arb/03/11},
year = {6 August 2004},
shorttitle = {Joy Mining v Egypt},
sorttitle = {2004}
}
Is there another way to accomplish the same thing?
