sorting authorname and highlight it in bold

Question

I used to use the piece of code below (that I actually found here) to highlight in my name bold in my bibliography for CV or thesis. It worked just fine but for the last 3 weeks or so I get a bunch of errors whereas neither the code nor my .bib file were modified. I understood that some options have been simplified which impact the code. any chance to get an updated code for this function.

Answer 1

I suggest you use the solution from Highlight an author in bibliography using biblatex allowing bibliography style to format it which in turn is based on Audrey's solution to Make specific author bold using biblatex, but with hashes instead of string comparison.

Since in biblatex 3.3 some internal macros were renamed (see Biblatex 3.3 name formatting) you now need to redefine name:family, name:given-family and name:family-given.

You can add hashes of names that should be highlighted as follows. Those hashes can be found by looking at the .bbl file. More details in the other answer.
