I doubt this will ever happen--but normally biblios are sorted by author.
Do you really have so many titles by the same author that this is a big problem to fix by hand? If this is really such a consistent need for you that you think it ought to be a feature in Word, you might find bibliographic management software rewarding. I think it would handle that. The big three (cross-platform) are EndNote, ReferenceManager, and ProCite, all owned by the same company and about US$100 after student discount‹a web search may turn up cheaper alternatives, as many people do not need the full power of those three programs. Mac users should also investigate Bookends and Sente. NotaBene is a Windows-only program suite that replaces MS*Word and includes bibliographic management software. All of these programs offer trial versions as of the time of writing. On 7/6/05 10:41 AM, "Syntactician" wrote: In sorting a bibliography, titles in quotation marks get sorted first.
