BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Bibliography numbers appearing in the wrong order

[iron_nerd]

I'm quite new to LaTeX and BiBTeX and I'm currently writing a report using TexMaker 1.9.2 and my Bibliography numbers are appearing in the wrong order i.e. the first reference is currently numbered [4], however the reference is for the correct paper.

Is there a way to put the references in the correct numerical order based on where they appear in my report?

Any help would be greatly appreciated and apologies if this post is in the wrong place.

Tell us what BibTeX style you use! Some are sorted, some are not, so it depends on what you are doing.

I'm using the plain style at the moment.

[josephwright]

Well "plain" is a sorted style, which means that references are sorted by (I think) author. You want something like unsrt, which is unsorted and so prints references in the order given.

Thanks! unsrt appears to be working.
