Sort | |||||||||
A - Scope
| |||||||||
| Cit: 1 2 | RW: 1; 2(a) sort the db (or a subset, i.e.: any folder or view list) before printing (sort specifications within the style will not be used); 2(b) each citation style has got its sort orders for export, bibliograpic list and in-text citations within manuscripts.
Cannot create user defined sort criteria |
Bscp: 1 2 | BK: 1 2 | LM: 1; 2; 1 and 2 are different but can overlap | Pr: 1; 2; 1 and 2 are different but can overlap | En: 1: one criterion by default that can be altered; 2 sort the db (or a subset) to export or print (sort specifications within the style will not be used); each citation style has got its sort orders for the bibliograpic list and manuscript in-text citations; subject bibliography can use sort orders and styles on the fly | RM: 1 this is the criterium used for the report output as well; 2 wp manuscript bibliography list and in-text citations have their own sort order
(e.g. bibliography list only supports Citation order and Author/Date) |
||
B - Basic sort criterion for characters:
| |||||||||
|
Cit: 1; 4: yes Diacritics make difference |
RW: can select language sort option based on operating system's localization options; 4: no Diacritics do not make difference: correct | Bscp: 1; 4: yes Diacritics make difference | BK: 1; 4: yes Diacritics make difference | LM: 1; can ignore case and accents and leading words as defined in a customizable list; call numbers -Dewey and LC classification- have special sorting; numbers are tretaed as numbers, not text; 4: no Diacritics do not make difference: correct | Pr: 1; 2 internal regional tables; 4: no Diacritics do not make difference: correct
Leading punctuation is always ignored. Apart from Dates and Call Number digits are still letters. 2 non-filing strings lists available see below Changing sort criterium / table, requires database rebuild; LC Call/Classification and Dewey numbers are taken into account and sorted before digits and letters; Dates are converted into an internal format and sorted consequently |
En: 1 Windows active table for output list. Leading blanks and punctuation are ignored for titles, otherwise punctuation marks are considered; author sort will consider all the authors in the field or just the first surname according to the choice; two non-filing strings lists available (see below); ; 4: no Diacritics do not make difference: correctinternal regional tables can be chosen to handle diacritics differently | RM: 1; 2 internal regional tables; can also set "Character set sort " where letters with diacritics are sorted at the end; 4: yes Diacritics make difference
Leading punctuation and articles are never ignored. Digits are still mixed with letters apart from Dates and RN where they have numeric value |
||
C - Sort keys on different levels | |||||||||
| Cit: yes when sorting the database, three choices: author / year / title; author / title /year or 4 nested levels based on any of the 25 fields available; a sorted db can be printed as such; a list can be printed in alphabetic order (AU - YR - TI) | RW: no, always on one level, though composite | Bscp: built-in criteria on 2 or 3 levels | BK: sort the hits lists on 3 levels (choose any field A/D); bibliography sort forn any citation style can be: a) Author | Date | Title; b) Author | Title; c) 1st Author | Date | Other Authors | LM: yes, up to 5 levels (each A/D) | Pr: yes, 2 or 3 levels, 6 levels (each A/D) for custom sort order | En: yes, 5 levels (each A/D) for db list sort, each output style has got its sort order based on 5 predefined and composite criteria + 1 custom (in which: 5 levels, each A/D) + 1 option edited after original works | RM: yes 3 levels (each one A/D) on any field | ||
D - How to sort the database |
|||||||||
| Cit: choose a sort setting for the whole datafile (or a saved physically separate subset) : then either retrieve it as a temporary set or save it to disk and reopen it |
RW: choose a sorting order on the All references list (10 criteria available, 11 on search results); a default sort order is also set in the general customization area can sort any view list (folder, My List or search results) |
Bscp: click on column bar of short record list when secondary index for the field is provided (can customize) | BK: sort by clicking on the columns of the brief record view: that sorts the display, not the db or the hits list which has got its own | LM:
- default sort order (that can be used also for the short record list) is based either on a sort file or on up to five levels - in the short record list : pull down menu option or mouse click on an indexed field (descending order not available); - to sort on the fly the whole database on non indexed fields, mouse click on the short record list field name you get a temporary different sort order (sorted snapshot), where descending order is available by re-clicking the name bar |
Pr:
Pull down menu option with 7 + 1 custom order (up to 6 levels A/D) or mouse click on the short record list field name bar to sort (A/D and more options are available) |
En:
Pull down menu option or mouse click on the short record list field name, can sort A/D |
RM:
Setting permanent option (Change Database Sort Order) or mouse click on the short record list field name bar to sort temporarily |
||
E - How to sort for printing |
|||||||||
| Cit: choose a sort setting for the whole datafile (or a saved separate subset); alternatively choose direct 'alphabetizing' (AU- YR - TI); can also choose order of appearance for a formatted manuscript | RW: sort the list before printing; sort is also one of the bibliography citation style settings, included in each style | Bscp: bibliography sort order is included in each style (5 options available); output reports have their own sort sequence | BK: ad hoc command ("Hits" --> Sort Hits List) | LM: sort order file to be connected with style files | Pr: ready made options from pull down menu | En: sort selected records or the whole db (the active style is not taken into account) to export; the sort specifications within the style will only be used for manuscript's in-text citations and bibliography list | RM: from the database reference list it uses the sort order of the selected list of records; for the manuscript bibliography list and in-text citations it uses the style's specifications that can also be altered on the fly from within the CWYW function (see 13 Manuscript formatting) | ||
F - Database sort is kept over sessions | |||||||||
| Cit: yes, when saved as a file | RW: yes, the one set in the general customization area | Bscp: yes | BK: yes | LM: yes, but not the clicking on the bar-one (sorted snapshot) | Pr: yes | En: yes | RM: yes, but not the temporary --clicking on the bar-- one | ||
G - Can alter the sort value of a string | |||||||||
| Cit: no | RW: no | Bscp: no | BK: no | LM: no, can only ignore leading stopwords (1 list; punctuation marks cannot be ignored: bad titles sort) | Pr: no, only leading stopwords (2 lists : authors, generic) | En: no, only leading non-filing strings (2 lists: authors, titles, see below) | RM: no, (stopwords not available: bad titles sort) | ||
H - Ignore initial articles and punctuation marks (non-filing strings) | |||||||||
| Cit: no | RW: no | Bscp: no | BK: yes in the formatted outputs (2 lists: Author, Title) | LM: articles and words yes, thanks to a customizable list; leading punctuation marks are anyhow retained and confound the sorting
Stopword in beginning position can be preserved if followed by hard space (Ctrl-Space) | Pr: yes, thanks to customizable stopword files: two lists belonging to each database: 1 general (corporate names included) 2 personal authors
Stopwords cannot be disactivated: must be emptied. Stopword in beginning position can be preserved if followed by hard space (Ctrl-Shift-space) |
En: leading punctuation always excluded + two customizable stopword files belonging to each database: 1 authors (case sensitive and corporate names included); 2 titles
Stopwords cannot be disactivated: must be emptied |
RM: no (does not have sort stopwords list) | ||
I - Other: varia | |||||||||
| Cit: | RW: | Bscp: sorting is case sensitive in any item list (lookup term lists: thus "berlusconi" is sorted after "Zapatero"), sorting is case insensitive only in the main brief record list.
But user can choose to use case-sensitive or case-insensitive by click the right mouse button |
BK: if no author, sort by editor. If no author or editor, sort by title | LM: sort files or default pattern can set also: use of non-indexed fields, A/D order, sort according to RT, ignore leading words, ignore case and accents, replace first field if empty with another field or text | Pr: Custom sort lets also choose between: empty fields first or last; all authors or only first; full name vs surname; full date vs year | En: special provisions for anonymous works and for edited works sorted after original works by the same author | RM: can sort kw within the kw field | ||

| Cit: n.a. | RW: n.a. | Bscp: no, only one level | BK: n.a. | LM: no, only one, though headings can come from n fields at once
the producer -Balboa Software- clarifies that two levels headings are possible [quoting] "Using a 'field different' conditional command in the Format File to display the second sort field at the top of a group of records. This works best on a non-list field for the second sort field". So you could create a subject bibliography with records grouped under each subject by author or date" |
Pr: no, only one, though headings can come from n fields at once (e.g. mixed sorting by subject and classes) | En: no, only one, though headings can come from n fields at once (e.g. mixed sorting by subject and classification numbers) | RM: no, only one, though headings can come from n fields at once (e.g. mixed sorting by subject and classification numbers) | ||
