I ... need to override the name used to sort some authors
Can you give an example or two of this?
I have two major uses for this:
On 1, would those be personal names? I was just wondering if it might include organizational names somehow.
Am just having a hard time imaging the details.
For example, let's say the authors name is in a different language, where it is pronounced as starting with f
. When it is spelled in English, it is spelled starting with a v
, but that doesn't match the real pronunciation. We want to alphabetize it based on the way we pronounce it as that is what people expect.
OK, that's helpful.
Not sure when or if this sort of feature would be added here, however.
But part of the context of my questions is I've also been experimenting with a kind of next-gen version of CSL, that has included discussion of the biblatex sorting design with its current maintainer.

Can you comment on his answer on sortname
here? Can you solve that issue in biblatex using his suggestion?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Some citation tools - for example biblatex - support fields specifically for overriding the sorting of references, i.e.
sortname
,sorttitle
,presort
I specifically need to override the name used to sort some authors and also I would like to sort empty author names at the end instead of the beginning.Describe the solution you'd like CSL to allow for fields designed for overriding sorting.
Describe alternatives you've considered

- the fake name is then shown in the generated output
