Do you have an example of this? groupauthor
is in the apa
sorting template in apa.bbx
.
The following MWE and bibliography illustrate the phenomenon. It seems to be caused by the sorting=nyt
option in the \usepackage
optional arguments. With that supplied, the bibliographic items appear in the following order.
But if I omit the sorting=nyt
option, then the bibliographic items do get listed in the correct order.

\documentclass[jou, a4paper]{apa7}

This is by design - the style has its own sorting scheme corresponding to APA guidelines which is used by default. If you use any of the default sorting schemes like "nyt" then sorting won't be according to APA standards.
Ah, I see! Thank you.
Currently, the groupauthor tag is not taken into account when determining the sort order of the references. So, although the formatting of group-authored references is correct, they are treated as author-missing items with regard to sorting.
