Sorting composed author names
Author: Francisco Vaz Da Silva    Posted: Wed, 20 Nov 2002 10:13:32 -0000
Hello, I would like to set a reference like "van der Waerden, B. L." to display just like this while being sorted on "Waerden" (not on "van" or "der"). However, it looks like the "Ignore Words when Sorting References" feature only works with ONE word at a time. In this example, it will ignore "van" and sort on "der," instead of ignoring "van der" to sort on "Waerden." Any ideas on how to get around this problem, short of entering "van der" as "van_der"? Thanks, Francisco Vaz da Silva

Dear Francisco, at 10:13 20.11.02 -0000, you wrote: > I would like to set a reference like "van der Waerden, B.

I checked that with my EndNote (version 5 for Windows) and entered "van de" as one string under Edit -> Preferences -> Sorting -> Author Field and EndNote provides me with the correct sorting order: Tytko, K. H. ... van der Waerden, B. L. ... Wilson, J. E. ... Best regards, inga -- Inga Overkamp Informationsvermittlungsstelle fuer die Bio.-Med.

Dear all, I have been trying different options with EndNote X.0.2 to get names such as "van der Merwe" sorted under 'm' instead of after 'Department'. I've tried by entering 'van der' as a string in "Edit -> Preferences -> Sorting", by entering both 'van' and 'der', with or without blank spaces, by deleting the Spanish surname prefix 'de' from the list just in case it was somehow being confused with 'der'... but nothing seems to work. I know it is case sensitive, but don't know what else to try. Any ideas? Thank you very much. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Esther Monzó Dept. de Traducció i Comunicació Universitat Jaume I Av. de Sos Baynat, s/n 12071 Castelló de la Plana Tel.: 964 729 744 · Fax: 964 729 266 www.trad.uji.es · www.gitrad.uji.es ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
