Because for 'Entry type'='InProceedings' one needs:
'Author', 'Title', 'Booktitle', 'Year', 'Volume', 'Number'.
So, depending on the entry type that was chosen the entry mask should change,
with the required fields first and the not valid fields should not be shown
at all, which can nicely be done with the 'hidden attributes' config option.
Only the sorting (of the entry mask!) is missing! :)
