Hi, I am having trouble sorting my bibliography. I want it sorted oldest at the top to newest at the bottom (sorted by year). I can’t seem to find the correct Bibliograpgy sort order comand to do this. thanks.
I can’t get this to work… Slight difference, in my case, I want to sort first by the first author’s last name, then by year (oldest first).
I have attached a screenshot of the sorting window. I’ve saved the output style as a new style and tried updating the bibliography as well as closing and re-opening the Word document, just in case. I’m using EndNote X7, too, and Word 2010.
Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

I somehow managed to get it to work now. The author names were exactly the same from the beginning, but I double-checked.
I guess what made the difference is that I now sorted by “First author”, not just by “Author”, and then by year, then by secondary author. By some weird coincidence, the names of the secondary authors were such that it appeared the sorting was by year (newest first).
Thanks a lot anyway!
