Hi, when seeing a magazine through the bibliography page, the ones with issue number and date added are not in chronological order compared to the ones with only number of issue added. Any help with this one?
For example Finnish music magazine Soundi. In the bibliography page the issues 7 (with the month Jul 1977 added) and 9 (with the month Sep 1977 added) come after issue 10 1977 (no month added).

I think that is akin to album and cd pages where a year is given but no monthly of release. There the releases with month stated are first, then those with only a year given are shown after December each year. So the default is by calendar there, and perhaps with magazines too, followed by issue numbers.
How to combine them I have no idea!

This sounds like a case in which numbers (numerals) are considered as text, and sorted alphanumerically (1, 10, 100, 11, 2, etc.), not as mathematical numbers as used in counting.
