Alphabetically sorted References

Post by offroad »

Hi all,

Could you help me figuring out what packages I should use to get all references sorted alphabetically?

These are the packages and settings I'm using.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{natbib}
\bibpunct{(}{)}{;}{a}{,}{,}
% ...
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\renewcommand{\bibname}{Referências}
\bibliography{Referencias}
But I've tested many without success.


Thank you in advance
Offroad

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Your example works for me. My suspicion is that there is something amiss with your BibTeX file (*.bib). For example, if you do something like

Code: Select all

% This code is broken; an example of what NOT to do!
@article{myentry,
   author = {{I. M. N. Author} and {I. P. Freely}},
   title  = "Hello",
   journal = "etc.",
   year = 2013
}
then BibTeX treats "I. M. N. Author" as one name. To get it treated as first and last, leave off the second sets of braces.

If that's not it, please post a minimal example .bib file (two or three entries, preferably NOT in alphabetical order) along with a minimal working example of your LaTeX code and we'll see what we can find.
