How does one sort a bibliography so that it is sorted by author, and then
sorted by date, but with duplicate entries occurring in the order they are
cited?
E.g., not (Smith, 2000b), … (Smith, 2000a)
but (Smith, 2000a) … (Smith 2000b).
I want the in text citations to follow in suitable order (a, b, c…) but at
the moment they are getting jumbled up as in the first case above, because
(and this is a theory!) I believe the bibliography is being sorted in some
manner that is jumbling them.
E.g., the 2000b seems to sort below the 2000a but I reference the 2000b
entry first in my text.
There must be some way to do that?

Does this work?
Hmm … interesting. I would have thought this would be a parameter
option (it was previously, wasn’t it?), but I have no strong opinion ATM.

No - I still get the b and then the a.
e.g.
My first reference (D’Altroy et al., 1996b) and then followed by (D’Altroy
et al., 1996a).
Sometimes swapping styles will get it right, but if I insert another
reference or make another change it will often reorder them again.

I’ll take care of this. CSL should probably sort by order cited by
default, but unfortunately, JS only implements an unstable sort, so
I’ll need to work around that in Zotero.
