I did not see any JavaFX component implementing a new JavaFX component for the entry editor: #4558 (comment). It is OK to focus on the logic only. It is OK, but then we need to create a follow-up issue. @u7302654 Please fix checkstyle issues. You seem to have missed Step 3: Set up JabRef's code style. Moreover, please add a screenshot to show that the sorting issue of the original poster is solved (#4558 (comment)). If it is not solved, it is also OK, because it improves the data model, but then we cannot close the issue at all. |

This code was removed - therefore org.jabref.logic.formatter.bibtexfields.NormalizeNamesFormatterTest is failing. Please fix. 😅

Please compile the regex only once. Compiling regular expressions is an expensive operation. Imagine a database of 10,000 entries, all of which use the extended name format, and the regex compilation takes 1 ms. We would have a 10 second delay for nothing.

A lot of magic values here, what do the 5 and 4 stand for here? If possible please delcare a constant that has a good name that explains the purpose of these values.

Description:
This pull request adds support for parsing BibLaTeX extended name format, which includes fields including family, given, prefix, suffix, and useprefix. This feature ensures correct parsing and formatting of author names with complex structures, including options to handle prefixes such as "van" and to manage cases where the prefix should be ignored (useprefix=false).
These changes solve the problem described in Issue #4558, where entries using the extended BibLaTeX format were not being parsed and sorted correctly, leading to incorrect name sorting behaviour.
Changes:
Closes #4558
