BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ sort references alphabetically

[Ramadan Babers]

i am use the template:
http://www.latextemplates.com/template/ ... ral-thesis

i need the references arranged alphabetically.

[kaiserkarl13]

How about using alpha.bst? If that's not the right format, try running "latex makebst" and following the instructions---that will let you sort in a number of ways.

References ordered alphabetically is the default for the template.

Kindly, where I need to write alpha.bst?
kindly, clarify the steps.

[Johannes_B]

The template uses the modern system of biblatex.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[backend=bibtex,style=authoryear,natbib=true]{biblatex}

The style is author year and the references are ordered alphabetically. If this is not the case, you changed something and need to show a minimal working example.

You cannot use alpha.bst without changing the template and getting rid of the advantages that are preset.

thanks for reply.
exactly what I need is I need to keep the numeric and the references need to be sorted alphabetically in References section. Is it available?

[Johannes_B]

Well, who could have guessed that you want a numeric style, for which the reference list is sorted alphabetically by default. style=numeric

[Ramadan Babers]

I use:

usepackage[backend=bibtex,style=numeric,natbib=true]{biblatex}

but the references appear as:

[1] Hazem Ahmed and Janice Glasgow. “Swarm intelligence: concepts,
models and applications”. In: School Of Computing, Queens
University Technical Report (2012).
[2] Khaled Ahmed, Ahmed Ibrahem Hafez, and Aboul Ella Hassanien.
“A discrete Krill herd optimization algorithm for community
detection”. In: 2015 11th International Computer Engineering
Conference (ICENCO). IEEE. 2015, pp. 297–302.
[3] Taher Alzahrani and KJ Horadam. “Community detection in bipartite
networks: Algorithms and case studies”. In: Complex Systems
and Networks. Springer, 2016, pp. 25–50.

pp. 217–222.

And the list is sorted alphabetically. What do you expect more?

Maybe you want an additional \DeclareNameAlias{author}{family-given}?

Kindly, Ref. No [4] (Ramadan) appears after Ref. No [3] (Taher) which is wrong.
I need [4] before [3] as T is after R.

this is for example,
