3. Complex sorting:

Sometimes we also want to have a more complicated sorting, for example, sort by "year" first, and then record records in the same year according to document type (journal articles, books, etc.).

Click the [field icon] in the upper right corner of the literature area. There is a useful function [Secondary Sort] at the bottom of the drop-down menu. On the basis of sorting by a certain field, select the "entry type" in [Secondary Sort] as a supplementary condition for sorting.
