Two questions: Bib module and Headers

Two questions: Bib module and Headers

[Miguel Queiros]

Hi,

I'm using Bib module and bibtex to create my bibliography.
I would like to order it by author name, and I'v tried
it using:

\setupbibtex[database=opensource-educacao,sort=author]

But didn't get the desired result. 
Should I be using anything else ?

And now for the header question:

I'm using the following code to change the font
size of my header from 12pt to 10pt.

\setupheadertexts[][\setups{ta}]

\startsetups[ta]
  \setupbodyfont[10pt]
  \getmarking[chapter]
\stopsetups

Using \setupbodyfont[10pt] in this case
is the best solution ?

Thank you,
Miguel Queirós

You need also:

   \setuppublications[sorttype=bbl]

Because the default is to sort by order of appearance
in \cite commands first, and only for the remaining
part use the bbl ordering.

\switchtobodyfont is somewhat better for this because
does not do as much as a full document-wide switch
(and is therefore faster).

You may even get away with only a single font command
like \tfx, but that does not work too well if there
are embedded math formulas or font switches in your
document.

Yes. That was it. I did tested it with \setuppublications[sorttype=bbl]
but I didn't run bibtex again. I suppose that was the problem.
