Behavior of CiteAsAuthorsPlus and CiteAsAuthorsEtAl

Open MasWag opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

It seems BiByFi with CiteAsAuthorsPlus or CiteAsAuthorsEtAl generates [(Last author)+ (Year)] (or something similar for CiteAsAuthorsEtAl) instead of [(First author)+ (Year)] at \cite. For example, for a paper with authors [Foo Bar; Baz Qux; Hoge Fuga], it generates something like [H. Fuga+ 2023] instead of [F. Bar+ 2023]. Is this as expected? It seems something like [F. Bar+ 2023] is more common (for instance, in https://www.scribbr.com/citing-sources/et-al/).

In my understanding, this is because of the List.reverse in https://github.com/namachan10777/BiByFi/blob/5747245d2ed9f3f1101b2a70258a3c7f69090647/bibyfi.satyh#L488 . (But I am not sure if we can safely remove this List.reverse...)

Here are a small example to reproduce this behavior: https://gist.github.com/MasWag/f71ecf4042f88fec9bcddcfebeab9151 and the resulting PDF file bibyfi-name-issue.pdf. (But also reproducible by https://github.com/namachan10777/BiByFi/blob/master/example/cite-with-name.saty, and I am not sure if this is an unexpected behavior)
