[Jabref-users] Main Window Sorting Order Problem

[Rich S. <rsh...@ap...>]

   I'm running version 3.3 on Slackware-14.1. There's an interesting
(actually, annoying) response an entry in the 'Proceeding' category. This
document type has no author field. Therefore, when the list of documents is
displayed the author field is at the end of the previously entries that are
listed in alphabetical order.

   All documents entered after the Proceedings one are in entry order, not
alphabetical sequence.

   It took me a while to recognize that it's the blank author field causing
the problem. I changed the document type from 'Proceeding' to 'Conference'
and moved the Editor names to Author, and every row was once again
alphabetically sorted.

   I'm sure this is unintended behavior and can likely be fixed by adding an
Author field to the required field tab, even if the 'author' is really a set
of editors.
