Bibliography in Chronological Order

Post by renno »

Hello everyone,

Is there a bibliography style that would order the references in chronological order (from old to new or opposite)?

Thanks a million,

Hi renno,

I do not know if such a .bst file exists. But you can create your own .bst file. Open a terminal and run

Code: Select all

latex makebst
you will be asked to answer a lot of questions, and at some point you will be prompted to choose

Code: Select all

ORDERING OF REFERENCES
and here you can select option (d):

Code: Select all

(d) Year ordered and then by authors.
After answering all the questions you will have your .bst file ready to use.

Dear gmedina,

Thanks a lot for your help. I made a .bst file that I am using for my CV. I am attaching the batch file for everyone's benifit. If the batch file is (La)TeXed, then the .bst file will be produced...

Dear gmedina,

I thought I uploaded the file, but now I re-tried, and it seems that .dbj and .bst files cannot be uploaded to the forums...
