Re: [docbook-apps] Re: sorting bibliography by authors

["Bob Stayton" <bobs at sagehill dot net>]

Hi,
The problem was that your document uses bibliodiv's, and the posted
customization was sorting biblioentry elements that were directly inside a
bibliography element.  So you just need to copy the bibliodiv template from
fo/biblio.xsl to your customization layer and change the xsl:apply-templates
to:

   <xsl:apply-templates>
      <xsl:sort select=".//surname"/>
    </xsl:apply-templates>
