Interface for bibliography_entries about vitae HOT 9 CLOSED

How are you trying to order the publications?
bibliography_entries are processed differently to brief_entries and detailed_entries, as it uses biblatex. You can specify the biblatex sorting scheme using the sorting argument.

# Publications

```{r}
knitr::write_bib(c("forecast", "vitae", "ggquiver", "naniar", "taipan"), "packages.bib")
bibliography_entries("packages.bib", sorting = "ydnt")
```

@robjhyndman
Do you think it is possible to provide the entries in a custom order? This would allow us to display the entries in the order shown in the table, which could then be modified with arrange().

@mitchelloharawild
Sorry my bad! I didn't know the "ydnt" option for sorting. Many thanks!

from vitae.

sorting='none' will retain the order the bibentries are already in. So then you can use tidyverse tools to arrange as you wish.

from vitae.

Good to know. In that case, is there any other reason why the sorting option is needed?
I think sorting should be deprecated and require it to be sorting="none", so that the output order matches the displayed table order in R.
If bibliography entries don't require a title, it would also be neater to have the title added via markdown and remove this argument too.

from vitae.

Yes, let's do that. As well as removing the arguments from bibliography_entries(), the following changes need to be made to knit_print.vitae_bibliography()

    \\newrefcontext[sorting="none"]\\setcounter{papers}{0}\\pagebreak[3]
    \\printbibliography[category=<<bibname>>,heading=none]<<endlabel>>\\setcounter{papers}{0}

from vitae.

I'd forgotten that the title was also being used to create unique bib categories within bibliography_header(). Now all categories are called "bibRefereed journal papers" which causes conflicts. We still need to create unique bib category names each time bibliographic_entries() is called.

I thought this would be handled here?

Sorry. Forgot to rebuild after pulling.
