If you have more than one resource by the same author, arrange the items in chronological order beginning with the earliest publication.
If an author is listed as a single author and then also listed as the first author on another work with multiple authors, list the single authorship entries first.
Entries with the same first author but different subsequent authors are arranged alphabetically by the last name of the first different author.
