I have a resource node type that references the author(s) of the post via a node reference CCK field. The authors are not necessarily still living or using the site so they are just an author node type that has nothing to do with Drupal users. We want to be able to sort the resources by authors last name that is stored in the node for the author.
Right now the node reference is based on title which is a concatenation of the title, first name, last name and suffix fields so it would be hard to write a regular expression to do this off of the title. We have examples of authors with and without middle names for example.
I was thinking I could just create a relationship and then sort on the relationship but I don't see this as an option in views.
Thanks,
Steve
