My point is that only rarely users will have "day" fields in their
database. Then it can happen easily that multiple entries have the
same "year" and "month" field, but no other criterion to sort these
entries.
To resolve this ambiguity, if *I* was using such a scheme, I would
want to use other fields like "author" or "title". That's when
individual preferences enter the stage. As we are talking about a
scheme that (I am pretty confident) will attract only a few users in
the first place, I believe it is better to let users define their
own functions for this.

> standard.
The "date" field is used by biblatex, which is a largely
backward-compatible successor of BibTeX. Its "date" field is
supposed to follow iso-8601, and that's also assumed by the code
example below. (In BibTeX mode, you can switch from old-fashioned
BibTeX to biblatex, see `bibtex-dialect'.)
I have never seen a "day" field nor any code that supports it
(nor have I seen iso-8601 "date" fields that actually included a day).

Sure, that makes a date-based sorting more straightforward and
meaningful.

The patch below implements such a scheme (not based on a cons pair
but a list that may include a third element INIT-FUN).
To test the code, I also hacked a function `my-bibtex-index-date'
that provides an example for INDEX-FUN, see below. It may well be
that it does not exactly match your taste, but it should be
straightforward to adapt the code. The PREDICATE is then standard
`string-lessp' (or `string-greaterp' for reversed sorting).
Can you please test this? Thanks.

The bibtex-get-date function in my patch does not assume that the "day" field is present. When it is missing, it uses the first day of the month, or day 30 if the LATEST argument is t. By the way, there is an error in my patch: it shuld be "day", not "days". >I assume that's why the proposed patch also uses a `day' >field.

Anyway, if any of "date" or "day" are present, the patch will use them, else it will use what's available. I personally use "day" to keep track of the dates of congresses (for @inproceedings). >How about instead a new customizable sorting scheme, where the value >of bibtex-maintain-sorted-entries is a cons pair > > (INDEX-FUN .

However I think it is at least equally important to provide some precooked solutions. I myself would have spared some work some months ago if I had the 'reverse and 'reversedate methods available.

I am not sure the proposed patch is the best way to go. Suppose a BibTeX file contains just several dozen entries per year of publication. Then sorting by date becomes meaningful only if the date for each entry includes not only year and month, but also the day. I assume that's why the proposed patch also uses a `day' field. But such a field is not standard for BibTeX entries, and I am not aware of any "default" mechanisms to support it. I guess you maintain such a field by hand in your BibTeX database. I am not sure it makes sense for BibTeX mode to go in such a direction with hard-coded hand-crafted solutions, where likely the next user wants to do things just a little different. How about instead a new customizable sorting scheme, where the value of bibtex-maintain-sorted-entries is a cons pair (INDEX-FUN . PREDICATE) where INDEX-FUN is a user-defined function that replaces bibtex-entry-index, and PREDICATE is a user-defined function that replaces the default predicate bibtex-lessp. Then users can define custom sorting schemes to their liking, where PREDICATE sorts the entries based on the return values of INDEX-FUN.

I think a single setting should be sufficient here.

Thanks; this looks like a good feature to me. I've added Roland to the
Cc's; I'm guessing he'll have some comments.

This is a patch that improves things, in my opinion. This is not the

Yes, I think introducing a variable to control the sorting would be a
good idea. It'd default to `bibtex-lessp' (or rather, something that
does the same), but (as you say) have an input that makes implementing
other sorting functions easier.
Patches welcome. :-)

Yes. In fact, after writing my bug report I looked at the code again and I did just that :) However, I think that reversing the sorting order is just the most common of various criteria that one would like to use for sorting. Recently I had a reason for getting one hundred bibtex entries sorted by date in reverse order, a task that would take a long time by hand, especially in front of frequent modifications of the list of entries to be sorted. Fortunately I was able to use bibtex2html to do the job, but the most natural thing would have been to use bibtex.el with a proper sorting function. Ideally, bibtex.el should provide a hook where one can install any function for sorting. The hook should get some arguments (the type of entry, the name of entry, the date, a bibtex custom field and maybe others). That would make bibtex.el more generally flexible.

I haven't looked at the code closely, but wouldn't advising bibtex-lessp
to just swap the parameters work?

Some years ago I used to obtain that behaviour by advising the sort-subr functions when called inside a bibtex-mode buffer. No more. The modern bibtex.el sorts an entry when bibtex-clean-entry is called when bibtex-maintain-sorted-entries is t without calling sort-subr, but relying only on bibtex-lessp, which is not easy to advice. I have numbered labels, and I want them to stay in reverse order as they are, but now I can get that behaviour only by setting bibtex-maintain-sorted-entries to nil Please add some way to reverse the order of entries -- fp
