Description g.marxen 2004-04-30 16:04:42 UTC

1. Allow sorting of the bibliography entries. 

If you want to insert a bibliography reference in the text, the 
entries in the selection list are presented in physical 
data base order. 

Even if you sort the entries by short name in "View, data base" 
the ordering of the short names is not affected. 

Enhancement: 
Allow Sorting of bibliography data base entries and 
let them be presented in this order. 

2. Allow entering more than one character in the selection list 

If you want to insert a bibliography reference in the text, you can 
enter only one character. If you type a second one, a totally other 
short name is selected. Example: If you type M, you see the first 
entry beginning with M. If you then type a, the first entry beginning 
with A is shown. 
So, if you have many Short names beginning with f.e. M, you have 
to search the selection list. 

Enhancement: 
Allow typing more than one character, so that in the example the 
first entry beginning with Ma is shown.

Comment 2 eric.savary 2004-05-03 13:48:52 UTC

Thank you for those good enhancement proposals!

1. It'a a duplicate of issue 4260.

2. it is a DEFECT because all list boxes have to accept multiple key input for
tracking the right entry.

Unfortunatly, we can't handle tasks containing multiple issues (Please refer to
http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/basic_rules.html).

Please submit a new issue (DEFECT) for 2. and assign it to 'OS'.

I close this task as duplicate.

I can not recognize, that (1.) is a duplicate of issue 4260. 

I suggest that the short names (identifiers) in the list box for inserting a
bibliographic entry in the text are presented in an alphabetic sorted order and
not in the physical data base order. Sorting should be possible by sorting the
opened table biblio in the data source view. 
(Now you have to sort biblio physically, save it anew and use it then in a text
document.) 
I will open (2.) in a new issue.

I've been a little bit too fast...
