The %A format I used in the bib-database is:
%A [last name], [first name initial]. [mid name initial]
When I use sortbib ( without any key options ) it sorts in a funny
way that I can't make out. The manual however says that sorting
would be according to the "lastname" ( in my case this should be
equal to the [mid name initial] ). Could anyone clear my doubt?
I would be glad if I could sort the database in the "first author"
order. Is there a way to do this according to my format?
The lookbib does not always retrieve the full record when a match is
found. In some cases, it prints only the match line. And in some
cases it seems to print the full record. Any explanations?
Thanks in advance.
