Oh, and one more thing. I strongly suspect that [sorttype=cite] is slightly misbehaving (it prints out some bibliography items that are not cited at all in the beginning of list; most probably in MKII as well), but that might be connected with the fact that it simply writes out all the items. I would expect the non-cited items to come last. I have: \startpublication[a1] ... \startpublication[a2] ... \startpublication[a3] ... \startpublication[b1] ... \startpublication[b2] ... \startpublication[b3] ... \nocite[b1] \nocite[b2] \nocite[b3] % a* are not cited at all but it prints out a1, a2, a3, b1, b2, b3. In my opinion the noncited/nonmentionedatall items should come last. (In my case they should not be printed out at all, but ...) Mojca
