Subject: Re: Addition of authortitle sorttype for bibliographies

I'm not sure if this thread got lost back when I sent it, but I just wanted
to bump this thread again. The authortitle sort sequence detailed in the
previous e-mail is working as expected, and it may be a helpful addition to
the publ-aut.lua file for general use. In case the last e-mail was lost,
I've repeated the code below:
```
publications.sortmethods.authortitle = {
sequence = {
{ field = "author", default = "", unknown = "" },
{ field = "title", default = "", unknown = "" },
{ field = "booktitle", default = "", unknown = "" }, --
if this is an untitled section (e.g., introduction, foreword, preface) of a
book or a review of a book
{ field = "maintitle", default = "", unknown = "" }, --
if this is an untitled section or volume in a multivolume collection
{ field = "volume", default = "", unknown = "" },
{ field = "part", default = "", unknown = "" },
{ field = "date", default = "9998-13-32", unknown =
"9999-14-33" }, -- some specifications allow date instead of year, month,
day
{ field = "year", default = "9998", unknown = "9999" },
{ field = "month", default = "13", unknown = "14" },
{ field = "day", default = "32", unknown = "33" },
{ field = "index", default = "", unknown = "" },
},
}
```
