9.10 Order of precedence

Note the following conventions for the order of bibliographic entries:

• A single-author entry precedes a multiple-author entry beginning with the same name.
• An author’s own volume precedes one that he or she has edited or compiled.
• Corporate authors are alphabetized according to the first key word in the name (not A, An or The).
• A list of works by the same author is presented in chronological order.

The rules given in 9.42 Alphabetical arrangement for alphabetizing index entries also apply to bibliographies.
