Support for Manual Bibliography Sorting about pandoc HOT 4 OPEN

There's nothing in CSL corresponding to presort, as far as I know, and CSL doesn't officially allow custom fields.

A CSL style can define its own sort keys, e.g. you could sort on the 'note' field and then author name, and use the 'note' field instead of 'presort' -- assuming you're not doing something else with 'note'.

Got it.

CSL hasn't had any activity on Github in more than a year, and no activity on the proposed version 1.1 in more than two years, so I am not holding my breath, but I opened an issue there: citation-style-language/schema#439

Can you give some context as to why you want to do this? Whats the specific use case for placing these two items at the end?

from pandoc.

I have two major uses for this:

1. I have a specific author who isn't alphabetized correctly for my specific need. The need is too specific to try to adjust the automatic sorting.
2. I have a few "citations" which need to be included, but aren't really proper citations (more likely should be footnotes, but I can't use them). These citations don't have authors at all and (in this CSL anyway) a blank author is sorted at the very beginning of the list instead of the end. I would like a way to force it to the end.
