[Tex/LaTex] Multiple citations same author same year using biblatex—list year

apa-stylebiblatexciting

I have searched for a solution but so far I haven't been successful. My citations for same author same year appears as: (King 2000a,b, 2001a,b). However I would like it to appear as: (King 2000a, 2000b; 2001a, 2001b). Below is my MWE

enter code here\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\usepackage[backend   = biber,
            style     = authoryear-comp, 
            sortcites = true,
            bibstyle  = apa,
            sorting   = ynt]{biblatex}  
\DeclareLanguageMapping{american}{american-apa}

\begin{filecontents}{general.bib}
@article{king200nonstationary,
title   = {Nonstationary Hypotheses},
author  = {King, P. M.},
journal = {Journal of {A}merican {S}tatistics},
volume  = {98},
number  = {428},
pages   = {1437--1487},
year    = {2000}
}
@article{king2000semiparametric,
title   = {Semiparametric Time Series},
author  = {King, P. M.},
journal = {The {W}orld {A}nnals of {S}tatistics},
pages   = {539--559},
year    = {2000},
volume  = {52},
number  = {1}
}
@article{king2001regression,
title   = {Regression and Dependence},
author  = {King, P. M.},
journal = {The {W}orld {A}nnals of {S}tatistics},
pages   = {1072--1099},
year    = {2001},
volume  = {53},
number  = {3}
}
@article{king2001gaussian,
title   = {Gaussian Semiparametric Estimation of Long Range Dependence},
author  = {King, P. M.},
journal = {The {W}orld {A}nnals of {S}tatistics},
pages   = {1661--1691},
volume  = {54},
number  = {2},
year    = {2001} 
}
\end{filecontents}

These ideas are summarised in:\parencite{king2001regression,king2000semiparametric,king200nonstationary,king2001gaussian}.

However, our results are closer to those described in \textcite{king2001regression}. 
\begin{refcontext}[sorting=nyt]                     
\printbibliography                           
\end{refcontext}
\end{document}

I am using Windows 7, Texmaker 4.5, Biblatex 3.0 and Miktex 2.9. thanks a million!

The easiest solution is to make biblatex "forget" the last year, so that the year is never omitted if it coincides with the last year.

\makeatletter
\AtEveryCitekey{\global\undef\cbx@lastyear}
\makeatother

Does the trick.

For real APA style just load biblatex as

\usepackage[backend   = biber,
            style     = apa,
            sorting   = ynt]{biblatex}

in which case you also get the desired output.
