Editor and Booktitle swap in inproceedings

Post by almeida »

Good day to all.
I've been having some troubles regarding the use of inproceedings in my .bib file.
I'm writing a thesis in latex and i'm using bibtex. The problem appears when, in the bibliography of the document, every inproceeding reference has they're editor and booktitle swapped.

In bib file:

@inproceedings{mittelbach-etal92,
author = {Mittelbach, M and Pokits, B. and Silberholz, A.},
title = {Production and fuel porperties of fatty acid methyl esters from used frying oil},
booktitle = {{Liquid fuels from renewable resources: proceedings of an alternative energy conference}},
year = 1992,
editor = {St Joseph, M. I.},
pages = {74 - 78},
}

In document:

M Mittelbach, B. Pokits, and A. Silberholz. Production and fuel porperties of fatty
acid methyl esters from used frying oil. In M. I. St Joseph, editor, Liquid fuels from
renewable resources: proceedings of an alternative energy conference, pages 74 – 78, 1992.

I'm using Miktex but I tried it in linux and the error is the same. As for the bibliography style, both apalike and plainnat give the same error.

Could tell me a way to correct this? I would very much appreciate it.

Both fields are mandatory for this kind of entry.

Build a minimal working example (MWE) that shows the misbehaviour.
