biblatex: different sorting parameters

Post by Buchling »

Hey all,

My bibliography needs to be divided into different categories, which is working just fine, and the different categories need to follow different sorting rules, which I don't know how to do.

Code: Select all

\begin{filecontents}{test.bib}
@MISC{ICCPR,
  title = {International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights},
  keywords = {treaty},
  howpublished = {adopted and opened for signature, ratification and accession 16 Dec. 1966, entered into force 23 Mar. 1976},
  note = {999 UNTS 171},
  addendum = {UN. Doc. A/RES/2200(XXI)},
  shortauthor = {ICCPR},
  year = {1976}
}

@MISC{BanjulCharter,
  title = {African (Banjul) Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights},
  keywords = {treaty},
  howpublished = {adopted and opened for signature, ratification and accession 27 June 1981, entered into force 21 Oct. 1986},
  note = {1520 UNTS 217},
  addendum = {OAU Doc. CAB/LEG/67/3 rev. 5},
  shortauthor = {Banjul Charter},
  year = {1986}
}

@MISC{RomeStatute,
  title = {Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court},
  keywords = {treaty},
  howpublished = {adopted and opened for signature, ratification and accession 17 July 1998, entered into force 1 July 2002},
  note = {2187 UNTS 3},
  addendum = {U.N. Doc. A/CONF.183/9},
  shortauthor = {Rome Statute},
  year = {2002}
}

@MISC{AmericanConvention,
  title = {American Convention on Human Rights},
  keywords = {treaty},
  howpublished = {adopted and opened for signature, ratification and accession 22 Nov. 1969, entered into force 18 July 1978},
  note = {1144 UNTS 123},
  shortauthor = {American Convention},
  year = {1978}
}

\end{filecontents}

\begin{document} 

something

\newpage 
\section*{Bibliography}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Bibliography}
\printbibliography[heading=book,keyword=book]
\printbibliography[env=year,heading=treaty,keyword=treaty]
\printbibliography[env=year,heading=declaration,keyword=declaration]
\printbibliography[env=year,heading=domestic,keyword=domestic]
\printbibliography[env=year,heading=intcase,keyword=intcase]
\printbibliography[env=year,heading=natcase,keyword=natcase]
\printbibliography[heading=other,keyword=other]
\printbibliography[heading=online,keyword=online]

\end{document}
The normal sorting rule is nty (as you can see) but all the subbibliographies that use the year-bibenvironment need to be sorted as ynt (well, actually it should be ytn but that doesn't seem to be possible so ynt will work as well).

Thanks for any help!

biblatex: different sorting parameters

Post by cgnieder »

You should switch backends! With biber you could not only add an individual sorting scheme to each \printbibliography (via \printbibliography[sorting=<whatever>] but you could also define and use the missing sorting scheme:

Code: Select all

\DeclareSortingScheme{ytn}{
 \sort{\field{year}}
 \sort{\field{title}}
 \sort{\field{name}}
}
Note that switching backends would require you to delete the bbl and other auxiliary files regarding the bibliography to avoid compiling errors.

biblatex: different sorting parameters

Post by Buchling »

So there's no possibility to do it with BibTex?

Well, if not, I have a (potentially stupid) question: How do I get biber working? I'm using Kubuntu 12.04 LTS and TexMaker 3.2. I downloaded biber and saved the (executable) file in usr/local/bin. I deleted all the files for my document except for the original .bib and .tex files.

However, if I run pdflatex biber pdflatex on my file, I get:

Code: Select all

(scrpage2)                If you get overfull \vbox warnings at almost every

(scrpage2)                into the preamble of your document.

biblatex: different sorting parameters

Post by cgnieder »

You have a rather outdated version of TeX Live. Your log says 2009 while the current release is 2012. In an up to date TeX Live biber is integrated and working out of the box. In your current case there's a version mismatch between biber and biblatex. Your biber log says:
Warning: Found biblatex control file version 1.7, expected version 2.3
and the log says afterwards:
Package biblatex Warning: File 'plan2.bbl' created by wrong version.
If you can and the risk of non-working packages is not too high for you (I don't know how long and how important you document is) I'd recommend to install a “vanilla” TeX Live 2012. If you don't want or can't do that I'd try to install an up to date version of biblatex at least.

Re: biblatex: different sorting parameters

Post by Buchling »

:/
I'm not a big fan of installing things manually as it tends to mess up my whole system when I'm running an upgrade. Kubuntu 12.10 comes with the new TexLive (and even Biber) so that would be my last resort but I would prefer staying with the LTS...
Is there any way to get the sorting I want with BibTex? If I enter the year as sortkey, it sorts it in the wrong order (I need the newest first) - any other option?

If there is I don't know it... Many of biblatex's features are marked »biber only«. (The fancier they are the more probably it is that they only work with biber. It was developed in close collaboration with biblatex to overcome some of the weaknesses of bibtex. Nowadays the biber developer is also one of the biblatex developers.)

You can have several texlive installations alongside without problems if disc space wouldn't be an issue.

But as I said: you could try to update biblatex only first. If you haven't done something like this before have a look at this link: How do I install an individual package on a Linux system?

Ok, so I've upgraded my system last night so now biber is working just fine with the original document. However, if I define sorting schemes for the separate \printbibliography commands, I get the following output:

Thanks again!

P.S.: How can I define a key to run biber in TexMaker so I don't have to go through the terminal all the time? And I can remove BibTex from my system now, can't I?

biblatex: different sorting parameters

Post by cgnieder »

I have no problems running your example. Everything seems to look as expected and I get no error messages. So your version of biblatex and biber is both 2.5 from 2013/10/10?

I have know idea as I've never really used TeXmaker but I'm sure someone here will know.

....sorry, should have checked that first. No, only TexLive is the new version, biblatex and biber are outdated. Now that I removed the automatically installed versions and manually installed the newer ones (thanks for the link on how to do that), the sorting works.
Thanks a lot for your help!!
