Did > you encounter problems ? AFAICS it's just the other way 'round: The Proceedings are always at the _beginning_ of the file (or at least: before the InProceedings). Playing with the sort option does not really change this. You can see the problems only at the second view. "Rudimental" crossreferencing works of course: A Label is placed instead of the Booktitle, the publisher and so on. But _only_ if the Proceeding itself is \cited somewhere in the document, too. But BibTeX's crossreferencing does more _if_ you have the general sort Inproceedings|InCollections and _then_ Proceedings|Collections. It does this two additional things (citing again from [1]): 1. "First, the special crossref field tells BibTeX that the InProceedings|InCollection entry should inherit any fields it's missing from the entry in cross references, Proceedings|Collection." => If you have a conference article (Proceedings) in your database, you only have to fill out author, title, pages, and crossref. _All_ the other (redundant) fields are automatically taken from the Proceedings entry to which you crossref. You don't have to type them twice (or even more often). 2. "The second thing that happens: BibTeX automatically puts the entry [of the Proceeding|Collection] into the reference list if it's cross referenced by two or more entries that you \cite or \nocite, even if you don't \cite or \nocite [the Proceedings|Collection] entry itself." This additional features don't work with the current Pyb sorting mechanism. Maybe I'm missing something (if so, tell me please). If not (and if it's feasible) I would really welcome, if Pyb could take this into account.
