<para>
To sort on Bib1 attribute title, case insensitive, and ascending you
would use the following sort criteria:
<screen>
<![CDATA[
1=4 ia
]]>
</screen>
</para>
<para>
If the secondary sorting criteria should be author, case sensitive and
ascending you would use:
<screen>
<![CDATA[
1=4 ia 1=1003 sa
]]>
</screen>
</para>
