A - Scope
|
|||||||||
| RW: 1; 2(a) sort the db (or a subset, i.e.: any folder or view list) before printing (sort specifications within the style will not be used); 2(b) 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: 1; 2; 1 and 2 are different but can overlap | En:
1: one criterion by default that can be altered; 2 sort the db (or a subset) to export or print (chosen output style's sort specifications will be used); each citation style has got its sort orders for the bibliograpic list and manuscript in-text citations; subject bibliography can use sort orders and styles on the fly |
RM: 1 this is the criterium used for the report output as well; 2 wp manuscript bibliography list and in-text citations have their own sort order
(e.g. bibliography list only supports Citation order and Author/Date) |
||||||
B - Basic sort criterion for characters:
|
|||||||||
| 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 Windows active table for output list. Leading blanks and punctuation are ignored for titles, otherwise punctuation marks are considered; author sort will consider all the authors in the field or just the first surname according to the choice; two non-filing strings lists available (see below); ; 4: no Diacritics do not make difference: 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 |
||||||
C - Sort keys on different levels |
|||||||||
| RW: yes, up to three (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 edited after original works | RM: yes 3 levels (each one A/D) on any field | ||||||
D - How to sort the database |
|||||||||
|
RW:
can sort any view list (folder, My List or search results) |
Pr:

RM:
Setting permanent option (Change Database Sort Order) or mouse click on the short record list field name bar to sort temporarily |
||||||
E - How to sort for printing |
|||||||||
| RW: sort the list before printing; sort is also one of the bibliography citation style settings, included in each style | Pr: ready made options from pull down menu; citation styles have got their specifications that can be overwritten | En: use sort specifications belonging to the output style which is chosen to export | 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 13 Manuscript formatting) | ||||||
F - Database sort order is kept over sessions |
|||||||||
| RW: yes, the one set in the general customization area | Pr: yes | En: yes | RM: yes, but not the temporary --clicking on the bar-- one | ||||||
