In the bibliography, I would like to reverse the last author's name. I use biblatex with authoryear-comp style. Currently, I get either

    Bloggs, F., J. Doe und M. Mustermann

by default or

    Bloggs, F., Doe, J. und Mustermann, M.

using

    \DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{last-first}

However, I need it to look like this:

    Bloggs, F., Doe, J. und M. Mustermann

Is there any command I can use to achieve this?

  • Welcome to TeX.SX! Untested, but have a look at the documentation how to get the authors, then you probably can use this: \DeclareListFormat*{author}{\ifthenelse{\value{listcount}<\value{liststop}}{last-first}{first-last}} (replace last-first and first-last with what you've found). – TeXnician Mar 05 '17 at 17:47
  • Does that mean that you always need only the last name given-family? What if there is only one name? – moewe Mar 05 '17 at 17:48

Assuming you always want the last name in given-family and all others in family-given - except if there is only one name, in which case you want that in family-given anyway - use

\DeclareNameFormat{family-given/given-family/last}{%
  \ifboolexpr{test {\ifnumless{\value{listcount}}{\value{listtotal}}} or test {\ifnumequal{\value{listcount}}{1}}} 
    {\ifgiveninits
       {\usebibmacro{name:family-given}
         {\namepartfamily}
         {\namepartgiveni}
         {\namepartprefix}
         {\namepartsuffix}}
       {\usebibmacro{name:family-given}
         {\namepartfamily}
         {\namepartgiven}
         {\namepartprefix}
         {\namepartsuffix}}%
     \ifboolexpe{%
       test {\ifdefvoid\namepartgiven}
       and
       test {\ifdefvoid\namepartprefix}}
       {}
       {\usebibmacro{name:revsdelim}}}
    {\ifgiveninits
       {\usebibmacro{name:given-family}
         {\namepartfamily}
         {\namepartgiveni}
         {\namepartprefix}
         {\namepartsuffix}}
       {\usebibmacro{name:given-family}
         {\namepartfamily}
         {\namepartgiven}
         {\namepartprefix}
         {\namepartsuffix}}}%
  \usebibmacro{name:andothers}}

  \DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{family-given/given-family/last}
