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)

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 most often correct; internal regional tables can be chosen to handle diacritics differently EW: unknown; 4: Diacritics do make a difference in printing bibliographies: unpleasant, or incorrect; they do not make a difference in exporting data or browsing the database list

2 - Sort keys on different levels

En: yes,
a) 5 levels (each A/D) for the entire library list sort;
b) 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)
c) there is also a specific sort for multiple in-text citations, similar to the previous, with also a non-sorting option
EW: as far as a bibliography list is concerned it depends on the selected bibliographic style, usually hidden to the user (unless he has access to EndNote desktop) Sort & Printing sorted lists and indexesLibrary sort

3 - How to sort for printing

En: records to be exported or printed in a subject bibliography or to be formatted in a manuscript will be sorted according to the chosen output style's specifications for bibliography

EW: it is embedded in the selected bibliographic style )

4 - Can alter the sort value of a string (e.g.  ignore initial articles and punctuation marks  = non-filing strings)

En: leading punctuation always excluded + leading non-filing text strings (2 lists: authors, titles)

Stopwords cannot be disactivated: must be emptied

EW: no (this setting is not part of a citation style) Sort & Printing sorted lists and indexes

5 -  Anonymous works

En: special provisions for anonymous works:
- leave author field empty
- put the main title (or the short title, which is a field,) in the author's place
- comply with APA (American Psychological Assciation Manual of style)
- insert a text
EW: it dependes on the selected style Sort & Printing sorted lists and indexes

6.0  - Sort can produce headings above sorted records (so-called : "subject bibliography", i.e. indexed/headed report list)

En: yes, also headings only, without records
a) alphabetic sort A/D,
b) on the basis of occurrences (Term count) A/D
EW: no Sort & Printing sorted lists and indexes Sort & Printing sorted lists and indexes

6.1  - Sort keys are another item from headings (i.e. sort on A, display B), so that they can match or be different

En: no, they are just the same thing EW: n.a.

6.2  - Headings do not need to be displayed within records

En: yes, they do not: the displayed reference may not contain the key used as heading (the relevant db record has to...) EW: n.a.

6.3  - More than one nested level of sort key as headings

En: no, only one, though headings can come from n fields at once (e.g. mixed sorting by subject and classification numbers) EW: n.a.

6.4  - Sort of records under the same sort key

En: ruled by the print sort order belonging to each output style: can be altered on the fly EW: n.a. Sort & Printing sorted lists and indexes

6.5 -  Records are referenced more than once by different sort headings

En: yes, records are fully printed under each heading extracted from the same record (no "light indexes" with cross references) EW: n.a. Sort & Printing sorted lists and indexes

6.6 -  Can produce indexes referencing records in the database by a short element (e.g. RN)

En: yes EW: n.a.
