General ⇒ Bibliography order

[T303]

I am trying to get a bibliography with the plain "thebibliography".
I tried different bibliographystyles styles but they all produce the same result. In the text the references are cited as [1] where the number refers to the position of the reference in the list as i put them. But I would like to have the numbers in the correct order as they appear in the text.

For the following example i got always
"blablablablubb [2] and also blubbluubbbla [1]"
not matter what style i used. How can I get the references ordered as they appear in the text?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{scrreprt} 
\usepackage{lingmacros}
\usepackage{tree-dvips}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{bbm}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{braket}
\usepackage{ifthen}				
\usepackage{sidecap}
\usepackage{hyperref}			
%\bibliographystyle{alpha}
%\bibliographystyle{ieeetr}
\bibliographystyle{abstract}
\begin{document}
	blablablablubb \cite{Daub} and also blubbluubbbla \cite{NR}
	\begin{thebibliography}{99}
		\bibitem{NR}
			A. Randomname 
			\emph{A Great Book}
			Unlimited Edition,
			Universal University Press, 2020
	  \bibitem{Daub}
			X.Y. Lophon
			\emph{An even greater book}
			ABC Prints, 2020		 
	\end{thebibliography}
\end{document}

ps: i didnt put the post in the bibtex folder, as i would like to solve it without using bibtex (if possible). If this was wrong I apologize

You're not using BibTeX in your example. To do so, use \bibliography{file} where file.bib exists and is somewhere BibTeX can find it. Delete your \thebibliography environment; BibTeX generates that for you.

The reason your entries were in the order you wrote them in the bibliography is because that's the order in which they actually occur in the bibliography---which is what you told LaTeX to do. The point of using BibTeX is to generate the entries in the bibliography FOR you, so they're in the right order.

That being said, if you specifically don't want to use BiBTeX (although I wouldn't know why), the answer is implicitly given by karl: enter the references in the \thebibliography in the same order as in the text. Good luck keeping track of all that
