Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 20525
wrong sorting of bibliography, when entries were made in text tables
Last modified: 2017-05-20 08:53:24 UTC
The following bug occurs, when "Formatting of the entries: Number entries" and "Sort by Document position" is chosen. (I tested it with OO1.1 (german)on Win XP home, OO1.1RC5 on Win 2000 and SO7.0 beta on Win XP home. With OO1.0.2 on Suse 8.2 Linux a test is not possible, because the sort is not at all done by Document postition (same as Staroffice 5.2).): If the first entry of a certain bibliography entry is made in a text table, it gets the number according to the first place, where this entry comes again in the text. If it is only cited in the table it gets the number 0! In the bibliography this entry comes up at the correct position but with the wrong number (as mentioned the number of the next position of the same database entry or zero). So in my thesis (197 pages with 176 bibliography entries) it looks like this: 96: Thomas... 97: Wagner,... 138: Deroubaix, G.;... 119: Dake... 0: Gaarenstroo... 98: Slater, J. C... ... 118: Him... 120: Ott... 121: Lammer, M.... I`ll be able to hand in a decent version of my thesis with a workaraound of inserted the troublemaking three entries in the text close to the texttable, actualising everything and then deleting the three entries in the three entries in text and sorting the bibliography by hand - but a fix would be great.

This seems to be a real bug so I will pass it on to Oliver. I can not test it as I do not use windows. I did not know that there were functional differences between windows and linux. Is this also a bug ? features not transfered from windows to linux ?
Hi, this is a misunderstanding! I don`t think there are differendes between Windows and Linux at this issue. I simply have different versions of Office installed on my different compunters with different OS. SO5.2 on WINDOWS behaves like OO1.0.2 on Linux. I don´t know about SO5.2 on Linux. One bug in these versions seems to have changed to another bug from OO1.1 on. UliM
I can only reproduce this problem when the entry is located in a text frame but not in a text table within the normal text flow.
Target and Priority changed.
You are right. My text-table was put in a text-frame to prevent unintended behaviour with the caption at page breaks. Without the text-frame, sorting in the bibliography works well.
I didn`t do anything, but someone must have solved it. It does not occur with OO 1.1.1. Thanks.
Because of a shortage of resources we have to retarget this issue to OOo later.
There is again a similar problem in OO 2.2. If you use automatic comments under pictures, literature references do not work inside the comments. Then the references are numbered incorrectly (e. g. all of them with [0]...) Only if you use manual comments without frames it works without any problems.
