References in Order of Appearance in main Text

Post by ougka »

Hello all,

I was using \bibliographystyle{unsrt} to get my references but I wanted them to appear in the order of citing them in the text and not in alphabetical order so I swapped to using the \bibliographystyle{plain}.

It did the job, but after updating to MiKTeX 2.9 and some recompilations I see that it is in alphabetical order again.

How can I get my references appear in the order I cite them in my main text?

Thanks a lot

I'm not able to test this at the moment, but I recall it was:

Code: Select all

\bibliographystyle{ieeetr}
Correct me if I'm wrong :roll:

If you switch to biblatex, you can specify this for any style with the option

sorting=none
