The sort by author is perfect.

fyi, sorting authors is kind of complex as we need to take all name elements into account (initials, firstnames, surnames, vons, juniors); of course there can be multiple authors; add to the extra axes year journal, title and page

the torture test is a list with 400K author specifications (taken from a bunch of bib databases) which eventually produces a 5500 page document

in practice, certainly when we have smaller databases, load time can be neglected (here it is .4 sec luatex vs .3 sec luajittex); sort preparation and processing of that bunch takes 35 sec for luatex and 19 sec for luajittex but of course for normal cases you won't even noticed it .. bib databases with 400K entries are probably not used often

(i have no clue if bibtex can handle these numbers)

Thanks,
F.

        Great! Thanks a lot!

        And concerning sorting by date?


    sorttype=author

    sorts by author,year,journal,title,page

    so what do you mean with 'by year'
