I don't know antyhing about code. What I need to change in there?

Siedlerchr commented 1 year ago

I see where it comes from. The comma is always inserted, even if the previous fields are empty: https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/blob/5e4cb4e8afb0dcb33629cfc2034f96b7d4ead053/src/main/resources/resource/layout/tablerefsabsbib/tablerefsabsbib.layout#L5C3-L5C3

One would need to check if at least one of the other fields is present: But not sure if this works for multipe fields. https://docs.jabref.org/collaborative-work/export/customexports#conditional-output

Do you think it can maybe be fixed for next version? I really like it but for books it's a bit annoying that the Journal/Proceedings column is used for wrong information.

The HTML table export (without abstract and BibTeX) has the same problem too.

Hi

I was the author of this post. When exporting HTML Table, there seems to be no sorting used: it's not sorted on author, title, year or Journal/Proceedings. I don't know what order is used, but definitely not something used in JabRef itself. It's looks they are random added.

Would it be possible to make the HTML Table have the SAME sorting as currently used in JabRef? So if you sorted the entries on for example "title" in JabRef, the exported HTML Table should be sorted the same.

In this way we can have the HTML Table a sorting we choose.

This should already be working by configuring the export sort order:
