The only organization option I have is “alphanumeric” and it organizes my bibliography by the order in which I cited the articles, but I want it to be alphabetic by the short names. For example, say I have these citations that appear in this order in my paper:
HEY01
WHAT01
APPLE01
I want them to appear like this:
APPLE01
HEY01
WHAT01
Can spellcheck “Oragnize”, please? Thanks.
To get the expected sort order, right-click in the bibliography and Edit index.
The Type tab which opens with dialog only defines the language for the sort.
Entries can be sorted on a variety of ways (author, title, year, …). The criteria are in the Entries tab. By default, Sort by Document position is selected. Change for Content and tell Writer which Sort keys to use and sort direction (ascending or descending). Up to 3 keys can be specified.
The sort criteria can also be defined when the bibliography is initially created.
