1 - Basic sort criterion for characters: 1. operating system's tables 2. program specific settings and/or tables 3. user defined table (es. ä = ae) 4. diacritics make difference (if yes, it is usually wrong: "é" is sorted after "e": Fewer, Robert comes before Fénelon, Marcel)
Bibus: Python system defined 4: yes	EW: unknown; 4: Diacritics do make a difference in printing bibliographies: incorrect, but not in export or browsing the database list	RW: can select language sort option based on operating system's localization options; 4: no, Diacritics do not make difference: correct	Pr: 1; 2 internal regional tables; 4: no Diacritics do not make difference: correct Leading punctuation is always ignored. Apart from Dates and Call Number digits are still letters. 2 non-filing strings lists available see below Changing sort criterium / table, requires database rebuild; LC Call/Classification and Dewey numbers are taken into account and sorted before digits and letters; Dates are converted into an internal format and sorted consequently	En: 1: MS-Windows active table for output list. Leading blanks and punctuation marks are ignored for titles, other punctuation is taken into account; author sort can consider all the authors in the field or just the first surname; two non-filing leading text strings lists available (see below); 4: no Diacritics do not make difference which is correct; internal regional tables can be chosen to handle diacritics differently	RM: 1; 2 internal regional tables; can also set "Character set sort " where letters with diacritics are sorted at the end; 4: yes Diacritics make difference Leading punctuation and articles are never ignored. Digits are still mixed with letters apart from Dates and RN where they have numeric value
2 - Sort keys on different levels
Bibus : no	EW: it depends on the selected bibliographic style, usually hidden to the user (unless he has access to EndNote desktop)	RW: yes, up to 3 (prepared and not configurable)	Pr: yes, 2 or 3 levels, 6 levels (each A/D) for custom sort order	En: yes, 5 levels (each A/D) for db list sort; each output style has got its sort order based on 5 predefined and composite criteria + 1 custom (in which: 5 levels, each A/D) (+ 1 option to sort edited works after original works of the same author)	RM: yes 3 levels (each one A/D) on any field
3 - How to sort for printing
Bibus : a) clic to sort the record list to be printed; b) sorting references while formatting a manuscript: within any stule select the sort field (bibliography sequence, identifier, any field)	EW: it is embedded in the selected bibliographic style	RW: sort the db (or a subset, i.e.: any folder or view list) before printing and sort specifications within the style will not be used; each citation style has got its sort orders for export, bibliographic list and in-text citations within manuscripts. Cannot create user defined sort criteria	Pr: ready made options from pull down menu; citation styles have got their specifications that can be overwritten	En: records to be exported or printed in a subject bibliography or formatted in a manuscript will be sorted according to the chosen output style's specifications	RM: from the database reference list it uses the sort order of the selected list of records; for the manuscript bibliography list and in-text citations it uses the style's specifications that can also be altered on the fly from within the CWYW function (see Manuscript formatting)
4 - Can alter the sort value of a string (e.g. ignore initial articles and punctuation marks = non-filing strings)
Bibus : no	EW: no	RW: no	Pr: only leading stopwords (2 lists : authors, generic) Stopwords cannot be disactivated: must be emptied. Stopword in beginning position can be preserved if followed by hard space (Ctrl-Shift-space)	En: leading punctuation always excluded + leading non-filing text strings (2 lists: authors, titles) Stopwords cannot be disactivated: must be emptied	RM: no, (leading stopwords not available: bad titles sort)
5 - Other: varia
Bibus :	EW:	RW:	Pr: Custom sort lets also choose between: empty fields first or last; all authors or only first; full name vs surname; full date vs year	En: special provisions for anonymous works and for edited works optionally sorted after original works by the same author	RM: can sort kw within the kw field
6.0 - Sort can produce headings above sorted records (so-called : "subject bibliography", i.e. indexed/headed report list)
Bibus : no	EW: no	RW: no	Pr: yes, also headings only, without records (alphabetic sort)	En: yes, also headings only, without records a) alphabetic sort A/D, b) on the basis of occurrences (Term count) A/D	RM: yes, also headings only, without records a) alphabetic A/D sort, b) on the basis of occurrences (Term count) A/D
6.1 - Sort keys are another item from headings (i.e. sort on A, display B), so that they can match or be different
Bibus : n.a.	EW: n.a.	RW: n.a.	Pr: no, they are just the same thing	En: no, they are just the same thing	RM: no, they are just the same thing
6.2 - Headings do not need to be displayed within records
Bibus :n.a.	EW: n.a.	RW: n.a.	Pr: yes, they do not	En: yes, they do not	RM: yes, they do not
6.3 - More than one level of sort key as headings
Bibus : n.a.	EW: n.a.	RW: n.a.	Pr: no, only one, though headings can come from n fields at once (e.g. mixed sorting by subject and classes)	En: no, only one, though headings can come from n fields at once (e.g. mixed sorting by subject and classification numbers)	RM: no, only one, though headings can come from n fields at once (e.g. mixed sorting by subject and classification numbers)
6.4 - Sort of records under the same sort key
Bibus : n.a.	EW: n.a.	RW: n.a.	Pr: ruled by the print sort order	En: ruled by the print sort order belonging to each output style: can be altered on the fly	RM: uses the database general sort order
6.5 - Records are referenced more than once by different sort headings
Bibus : n.a.	EW: n.a.	RW: n.a.	Pr: yes, records are fully printed each time (no "light indexes" with cross references)	En: yes, records are fully printed each time (no "light indexes" with cross references)	RM: yes, records are fully printed each time (no "light indexes" with cross references)
6.6 - Can produce indexes referencing records in the database by a short element (e.g. RN)
Bibus : n.a.	EW: n.a.	RW: n.a.	Pr: yes	En: yes	RM: yes
