BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Altered Order of Authors

[DrCheesy]

I am using natbib to handle the bibliography for my thesis. I have an article defined as:

Code: Select all

@article{Geedipalli,
  author =   "S.S.R. Geedipalli, V. Rakesh and A.K.Datta",
  title =    "Modeling the heating uniformity contributed by a rotating turntable in microwave ovens ",
  journal =  "Journal of Food Engineering",
  year =     "2007",
  volume =   "82"
}

Then in my PDF output the reference is:

V. Rakesh S.S.R. Geedipalli and A.K.Datta. Modeling the heating uniformity contributed by a rotating turntable in microwave ovens. Journal of Food Engineering, 82, 2007.

The author order has been altered so "Geedipalli" is second author when he should be first.

Two primary questions are these.

1. Why on earth would it think it needs to swap the author order?
2. How do I fix it?

There are also other issues, like commas being omitted, which just basically take my carefully written references and change them to make me look like an idiot / more of an idiot than I actually am.

Any advice would be really gratefully received.

Seperate every name with and. If this does not work, please prepare a minimal working example.

Johannes,

many thanks for your reply!

I separated the names with and 'and' and the authors are now in the correct order.

I have over 300 references in my thesis. I am rather reluctant to replace all the separating commas. But I was wondering if there was a less cretinous approach to solving this. Would changing from natbib to biblatex be of any use?

Edit: Got it working now - many thanks
