Hi Lee, Can you make any suggestions as to the needed machinery? We don't need to much automation, say 2-3 books a day will be sufficient.

Hi list, I need to enforce a fixed order for the bibliography entries. The current style just uses the order of the author. I have just tried that and I can do it. However, it would be easier if somebody already has this? Otherwise I will employ the rules of the "Chicago Manual of Style". Stephan
