ieeetr and Alphabetically sorted references

Post by sw3quant »

I am using WinEdt, MiKTex, JABREF on win7. All the latest packages.

I have a tex file, as follows

Code: Select all

\documentclass{singlecol-new}
\usepackage{natbib}
\begin{document}
hello, \cite{myRef}
\bibliographystyle{ieeetr}
\renewcommand{\bibname}{References}
\bibliography{D:/myFile}
\end{document}
This is great. However the references come out in the order they appear in the text.

I wish to have them appear in alphabetical order (http://www.inderscience.com/info/inauth ... mp.php#ref)

Can anyone advise on me on how to achieve this?

I would also like the references in main body of the text to appear in square brackets (eg [37]) but at the moment they appear in round brackets (eg (37)). How can I do this?

thank you

I would recommending using IEEEtranSN as your bibliography style (according to the documentation, it uses the standard IEEE style except that citations are Natbib-compatible, sorted, and listed with full author keys), and adding [square] as the optional argument to the natbib package.
