Problems with sorting by year #68

Closed egarpor closed 4 years ago

egarpor commented 4 years ago

I have been running 

bibtool -S -sort.format='{%s($year)}' -i example.bib -o example_sorted.bib

with version 2.67 on the next example.bib file:

But the output that I get is not sorted by year:

Tried also with -s, and -sort.format='{%4d($year)} and -sort.format='%d($year), but no luck. Help is much appreciated!

I have been running


bibtool -S -sort.format='{%s($year)}' -i example.bib -o example_sorted.bib

You want to use

bibtool -S --'sort.format{%d(year)}' -i example.bib -o example_sorted.bib

Note: sort.format is no command line option but a resource statement.

Also note: the order within a year is undefined...

Many thanks! That did work :)
