Agenda view with bibliographic references

Agenda view with bibliographic references

[G. Martin Butz]

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

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 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
