I had the same problem as some other people reported:
When I wanted to add sort node to bibliography, it was not possible anymore to save it as a new style. Error: Invalid Style
What was the problem? I tried many things:
1) I tried other explorers than chrome, such as Firefox and InternetExplorer. It did not work at all.
2) I tried it some other days to see whether it is a temporary error. The same error was again appeared.
3) When I removed that sort node, and made other changes to that style, I was of course able to save it as a new style. It seems that the problem was only adding a sort node to bibliography.
4) At last, I tried the other suggested solution in one of Mendeley support webpages;
http://support.mendeley.com/customer/portal/articles/1356814-invalid-style-in-the-csl-editor
It was recommended to just drag the sort node and drop it above the layout node. It was the real solution. There was no need to save the xml code in a new csl file, and adding it manually to the Mendeley at all.
It worked really and I was able to save the edited style as new one.
Please tell this to all Mendeley users, because I waste several hours of my time getting rid of this fatal error in the such very exciting reference managing software (Mendeley). We hope that mendeley writers would solve the problem forever in the new versions of the software.
Have fun with Mendeley
