Hallo Darlan,

thanks for the input, which gives me new insights. E.g. I found out, that I can just display CATEGORY in one column of the column view (not the whole file path), which solves one of my minor problems.

Nevertheless, I wanted to avoid any redundant data input (such as the authors sirname as 'category', which would make sense because I would like to sort the the references according to authors alphabetically).

Thanks and greetings
Martin

What if you manually set the category property of each reference to a short
title for the reference? The category appears in the agenda and you can use
it as a sort strategy.

Hallo to all,

as I have quite a few bibliographic references scattered around several
files, I build myself a custom agenda view, gathering all references
(tagged with "bib") using the column view.

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
        '(("l" "Literaturliste" tags "Bib"
          ((org-agenda-remove-tags t)
        (org-agenda-overriding-columns-format "%80ITEM %20FILE")
        (org-agenda-view-columns-initially t))
        (org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(alpha-up))
        (org-agenda-compact-blocks t))
        ))

I wonder, if it is possible to get an alphabetically sorted list of all
entries without having them displayed filewise. Right now my agenda view
displayes the entries like:

a_item | x.org
m_item | x.org
b_item | y.org
n_item | y.org
aso.

What I would like is the following

a_item | x.org
b_item | y.org
m_item | x.org
n_item | y.org
aso.

Or - if this is not possible - can I at least show a short version of
the file name (like in the ordinary agenda view)? Right now the column
"file" displays the full file path which I do not need.

Can anybody help?

Many thanks in advance
Martin
