Hello,
I'm trying to figure out a way to sort by one of multiple elements, with
descending priority. I'm working with a TEI bibliography, and there's no
single element that all the entries have. Ideally, I'd like to sort by
monogr/author; but when that's not possible, by analytic/author; if not
that, monogr/editor; then monogr/title; and so on down the line.
Doing a series of sorts, one after another, doesn't work because it
groups together all the entries with a monogr/author, then all the ones
with an analytic/author. I need all the entries integrated together into
one single A-Z list-- where the entry's place is determined by the first
of the above elements that it has. I can't do "monogr/author |
analytic/author" because some entries have both.
Here's what a complete (for this purpose) entry looks like-- most
entries are missing one or many of these elements:
<biblStruct>
<analytic>
<author>Author Name</author>
<title>Article Name</title>
</analytic>
<monogr>
<author>Other Author Name</author>
<title>Journal Title</title>
<editor>Editor Name</editor>
</monogr>
</biblStruct>
Any help would be wonderful. Thanks!
