Description
When I open the dropdown menue "Reference", the references entered so far are apparently shown in the order in which they have been entered (at least neither alphabetically nor by date). In the case of large bibliographies that have grown over time with contributions from various contributors, it will be very difficult to find the correct reference. Therefore, I suggest that the references be sorted (first) alphabetically by author and (second) chronologically by date.

Dear Jens,
the references are sorted by author. However, the biblio module does not count whether the author is the first author, or the second, or an editor. It is sorted by any author linked to the reference.
After the author, it is sorted by title.
I am sorry, we don't do any changes to the current biblio module, but I told the developers that they HAVE to improve the biblio module for the new Scratchpad version.
