Editing .bst to change order of fields

Post by penelope »

Hello,

I'm manually editing my bst file. So far I've done formatting of each field, but now I want to change the order of my fields in bib entries. For instance, instead of
Jackson, P. J., My title, Journal name, 38(4):1516-9, Apr 2000.
I want it instead to appear as
Jackson, P. J. (2000) My title, Journal name, 38(4):1516-1519.
effectively, moving the date in front, and only with the year.

Thanks,
Penelope

Oh, it's just a matter of switching the order of fields in FUNCTION{article} so that the date appears in the front. Although this way, I have to edit each of the publication types.

Though now I have to figure out how to get rid of the month in format.date.
