I'm arranging the bibliography of my math textbook alphabetial by author
and it mostly works, but a couple entries are tricky. For example:
@Book{Census:1992,
author = {US Bureau of the Census},
title = {Statistical Abstracts of the United States: 1992},
publisher = {Government Printing Office},
year = 1992,
address = {Washington, DC},
edition = {112th}}
Using the settings
\setupbibtex[database=../project, sort=author]
\setuppublications[alternative=num, sorttype=bbl]
it turns into this entry in the .bbl file:
\startpublication[k=Census:1992,t=book,
a={{of~the Census}},y=1992,
n=7,s=otC92]
\author[]{US~Bureau}[U.~B.]{of~the}{Census}
\pubyear{1992}
\title{Statistical Abstracts of the United States: 1992}
\city{Washington, DC}
\pubname{Government Printing Office}
\edition{112th}
\stoppublication
I tried inserting a key={US Census} line in the bibtex entry, but the
key seems to be ignored if there's already an author key (based on a
moderately long stare at the cont-au.bst file).
How could I trick bibtex into believing that the author's last name is
"US", so that the entry would be placed with the "U" entries?
Try author={{US Bureau of the Census}}
or author={U{S Bureau of the Census}}
