Hello,
I'm trying to figure out a way to sort by one of multiple elements, with descending priority. I'm working with a TEI bibliography, and there's no single element that all the entries have. Ideally, I'd like to sort by monogr/author; but when that's not possible, by analytic/author; if not that, monogr/editor; then monogr/title; and so on down the line. Doing a series of sorts, one after another, doesn't work because it groups together all the entries with a monogr/author, then all the ones with an analytic/author. I need all the entries integrated together into one single A-Z list-- where the entry's place is determined by the first of the above elements that it has. I can't do "monogr/author | analytic/author" because some entries have both. Here's what a complete (for this purpose) entry looks like-- most entries are missing one or many of these elements: <biblStruct> <analytic> <author>Author Name</author> <title>Article Name</title> </analytic> <monogr> <author>Other Author Name</author> <title>Journal Title</title> <editor>Editor Name</editor> </monogr> </biblStruct> Any help would be wonderful. Thanks! ~Quinn
