Custom BibLaTeX bib with two blocks and authors below each other?

Question

I want to create a custom bibliography with BibLaTeX. I got to a point where it almost looks as required, but I'm not able to split the bibliography into two columns and I also don't know how to write the authors below each other.

Desired output:

Current output:

My code: %!TEX root = ../root.tex

% Formats the bibliography environment
\defbibenvironment{bibliography}
  {\list
     {\usebibmacro{author/editor+others/translator+others}}
     {\setlength{\leftmargin}{0.2\textwidth}%
      \setlength{\itemindent}{-\leftmargin}%
      \setlength{\itemsep}{\bibitemsep}%
      \setlength{\parsep}{\bibparsep}}}
  {\endlist}
  {\item}

Biber/BibLaTeX Versions: latest

You will need a tabular bibliography: https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/71088/35864 That requires some intricate changes to internals. — moewe, Jul 12 '18 at 11:23
Do you have to follow this two-column style? I think it looks quite bad with several authors or longer names. So if you are allowed some artistic license I would definitely advise you to not go down that route. You could try biblatex-philosophy's philosophy-modern for a fancy style that similarly emphasises the authors, but does not suffer from the disadvantages of tables. — moewe, Jul 12 '18 at 11:29
@moewe Thank you! I'll look into it. Yes, I'm forced to implement their ugly MS Word requirements... — skyfrk, Jul 12 '18 at 11:31
Can you please show us a complete minimal example (with \documentclass, \begin{document}...\end{document}, a few bib entries and so forth), so we can have a proper look at your question. See I've just been asked to write a minimal example, what is that? and How to write a MWEB. That will make it much easier for us to help you. — moewe, Jul 12 '18 at 11:42
Oh while you are producing the MWE/MWEB please tell us which version of biblatex (and Biber) you are using. The current versions are 3.11/2.11 — moewe, Jul 12 '18 at 11:50

Here is a solution based on Audrey's answer to tabular bibliography with biblatex. Because of changes to internal macros, the code of Audrey's answer was changed very slightly. I have also modernised your code ans shortened it where possible.

Tabular bibliographies more complicated because the usual setup assumes that bibliographies are ultimately created using some kind of list environment. Since lists are populated in a manner very similar to normal paragraphs of text there is nothing special going on there. With tables, on the other hand a few extra things have to be done.

This solution allows for complete customisation of a two-column tabular bibliography, where the first column is defined via \defbibtabular and the second column is populated by the bibliography driver as usual.

Thank you very much @moewe ! I only got one issue left with this solution: There is no space between the shorttitle and the title. I'm not able to figure out where to add a \space here. I'm only 2 weeks into the latex journey... — skyfrk, Jul 13 '18 at 08:51
@Skyfreak I assume that is because there is a strict No capes policy now. If the answer helped you, you may want to consider accepting it: https://tex.stackexchange.com/help/someone-answers — moewe, Jul 13 '18 at 09:22
I just realised, that sorting doesn't work any longer with your custom style. I used to sort my bib by author, date (ascending), title.
I'll update the MWE with better entries for testing in a second. — skyfrk, Jul 14 '18 at 13:46
@Skyfreak Add sorting=nyt, but please note that it makes little sense to sort name>year>title when the style is essentially author-title, the more natural sorting would be name>title(>year). If that does not help, please ask a new question. — moewe, Jul 14 '18 at 13:55

Custom BibLaTeX bib with two blocks and authors below each other?
