organizing the refrences

Post by Barakaty »

Hi guys
I have aproblem in refrences order in WinEdt. the refrence was given numbere in the text according to its order in the bibliography list. So, the first refrence in the text might have number 3 or 4. Is there any way to make order of the bibliography list in the sequnce of citietion in the text. I hope I manage to explain my problem clearly

Thanks in adavances

Try \bibliographystyle{unsrt}

\begin{thebibliography}{9}
\bibliographystyle{unsrt}

\end{thebibliography}

Do you use the thebibliography environment or BibTeX? In the first case, the order is exactly as in the input file. For the second case, remove the thebibliography environment (it is created automatically by BibTeX) and enter the \bibliographystyle declaration somewhere before the \bibliography command.
