NAME
sortbib - sort a bibliographic database
SYNOPSIS
sortbib [-s KEYS] database...
DESCRIPTION
sortbib sorts files of records containing refer key-letters
by user-specified keys. Records may be separated by blank
lines, or by `.[' and `.]' delimiters, but the two styles
may not be mixed together. This program reads through each
database and pulls out key fields, which are sorted
separately. The sorted key fields contain the file pointer,
byte offset, and length of corresponding records. These
records are delivered using disk seeks and reads, so sortbib
may not be used in a pipeline to read standard input.
The most common key-letters and their meanings are given
below.
%A Author's name
%B Book containing article referenced
%C City (place of publication)
%D Date of publication
%E Editor of book containing article referenced
%F Footnote number or label (supplied by refer)
%G Government order number
%H Header commentary, printed before reference

%K Keywords to use in locating reference
%L Label field used by -k option of refer
%M Bell Labs Memorandum (undefined)

%O Other commentary, printed at end of reference
%P Page number(s)
%Q Corporate or Foreign Author (unreversed)
%R Report, paper, or thesis (unpublished)
%S Series title
%T Title of article or book
%V Volume number

User Commands sortbib(1)
%X Abstract - used by roffbib, not by refer
%Y,Z Ignored by refer
By default, sortbib alphabetizes by the first %A and the %D
fields, which contain the senior author and date.
sortbib sorts on the last word on the %A line, which is
assumed to be the author's last name. A word in the final
position, such as `jr.' or `ed.', will be ignored if the
name beforehand ends with a comma. Authors with two-word
last names or unusual constructions can be sorted correctly
by using the nroff convention `\0' in place of a blank. A %Q
field is considered to be the same as %A, except sorting
begins with the first, not the last, word. sortbib sorts on
the last word of the %D line, usually the year. It also
ignores leading articles (like `A' or `The') when sorting by
titles in the %T or %J fields; it will ignore articles of
any modern European language. If a sort-significant field is
absent from a record, sortbib places that record before
other records containing that field.
No more than 16 databases may be sorted together at one
time. Records longer than 4096 characters will be truncated.
OPTIONS
-sKEYS Specify new KEYS. For instance, -sATD will sort by
author, title, and date, while -sA+D will sort by
all authors, and date. Sort keys past the fourth
are not meaningful.

BUGS
Records with missing author fields should probably be sorted
by title.
