CSV Data in jekyll: how to sort and display data according to "Publication year" - github

Question

I am trying to work on a simple workflow to sort out my publications csv to a list in my jekyll-based website.
This is my references.csv extracted from referencing software Mendeley and converted from bib to csv using online converter. I want to place this in my _data folder and make a list of publications in the page on jekyll website hosted on github. The sampe data is shown below:
"Item type","Authors","Title","Journal","Publication year","Volume","Issue","Pages","Publisher","Date published","ISSN","URLs","DOI","PMID","Abstract","Keywords"
"Book","Wilden H","PCI design handbook: Precast and prestressed concrete","","2017","","","","Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute Wakefield, MA, USA","2017","","","","","",""

Now, I want to make the list from these data as a citation data without getting into complexities of _includes. I want to keep it simple in a separate "Publications" page.
For example, I used the following code
{% assign cards = site.data.references | sort: 'Publication_year' | 'reverse' %}
{% for card in cards %}
<ul>
<li>{{ card.Publication year }} {{ card.Title }} {{ card.Publication }} </li>
<ul> {{ card.Authors }} {{ card.Authors }} </ul>
</ul>
{% endfor %}
In the code, when I use the heading in csv as "Year" and then sort using sort: 'Year' | 'reverse' %,it works. Maybe, there is a different way to write it for "two-worded" headings, as I think the card.Publication year won't work. i have spent a lot of time on this and I think I need to just use the code once and then just work with the csv file only.
The output I intend to only pick up the Journal Article from the Item type and prepare a list with the following information with items shown in the following:
[Publication year][title][Journal]
[Authors]
Also, I tried italisizing the text in one of the items, it should work like {{ __card.Publication year__ }} but it does not. I also read somewhere that the csv encoding doesn't allow to extract the first column due to some BOM or UTF-8 something encoding. But I want to filter using the item type.
ps I have tried to compromise with another simplified code with headings same as this, but the google scholar exported csv has ; as delimiters and while using card.Authors does not work to call the data.
I apologize I am not at all familiar with this and I am struggling with using this syntax. However, I foresee that if the code works, it will make my life easier. I would really appreciate your help. I apologize for any lack of proper jargon while explaining the problem.
Thank you in advance.
I tried to display the data from csv data file on the website but some values are missing. I cannot figure out the solution

Answer 1

You're on the right track but you are incorrectly referencing the CSV file column. Since "Publication year" is a two-worded heading, you need to reference it using underscores instead of spaces.
Try changing this line:
{% assign cards = site.data.references | sort: 'Publication_year' | 'reverse' %}
You can use sort_by instead of sort and provide 'Publication_year' as an argument.
{% assign cards = site.data.references | sort_by: 'Publication_year' | reverse %}
When you reference the column in the for loop, you should also use underscores:
<li>{{ card.Publication_year }} {{ card.Title }} {{ card.Journal }} </li>
