BEGIN Bug Report ------------------------------------
From: Berwin A. Turlach <berwin@core.ucl.ac.be>
To: Peter Williams <peterw@archsci.arch.su.edu.au>
Subject: harvard.sty
Status: RO
Dear Peter,
I am afraid I have to report another surprising feature of harvard.sty
;-))
By chance I noticed that my bibliography is now that I use harvard-1.0
differently sorted than before!
In former times I got first all entries for which one person, say
Hall, was single author first in the bibliography list. Then came all
the entries where this person had *one* coauthor (first his name then
and and then the name of the second author). Finally all the entries
with *more than one* coauthor appeared.
Now I noticed that entries with more than one coauthor appear
sometimes before those with only one coauthor and sometimes
afterwards.
I am not a big BiBTeX hacker, but I think the problem is that in the
sort.key$ you use the make.list.label! In former times this looked
somehow like:
hall p and wand m ......
Now it is:
hall p harvardand wand m .....
And whereas it is rare to have an entry with more than two authors
where the name of the second author is alphabetically before `and' it
is quite possible that the second author is alphabetically before
`harvardand' (I have at least two such entries in my .bib file, that's
how I noticed it). An example is:
hall p hart j harvardand wand m .....
I checked this behaviour with dcu.bst and agsm.bst. I don't know
exactly how these conventions define the sorting of the bibliography
entries, but I am quite sure that the effect which I described above
is not desired. That's why I report it here. (I guess the `and'
respectively `harvardand' should be dropped from the sort.key$, but I
am not sure).
All the best,
Berwin
