BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Bibliography in alphabetic Order

[nicol]

Dear all,

I have a problem. Since some days ago biblatex do not generate a bibliography in an alphabetic order. I used the same preamble I used before, but now it does not work.

What did I do? Where is the problem? This is the preamble I use.

Code: Select all

\begin{filecontents}{nicol.bib}
@book{Carroll,
  title={Alice Bla Bla},
  author={Carroll, Lewis}, 
  year = {1886}
  }

@book{Gibson,
  title={Neuromancer},
  author={Gibson, William}, 
  year = {1984}
  }
\end{filecontents}



\documentclass{book}

\usepackage[german,french,spanish,english]{babel}
\usepackage[babel]{csquotes}
	
\usepackage[backend=bibtex,%
bibstyle=authoryear,citestyle=authoryear]{biblatex}
	
\DeclareBibliographyCategory{books}
	
\defbibheading{books}{\section*{Bibliography}}



\begin{document}

... some text \cite{Gibson}...\cite{Carroll}


\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\bibname} 

\printbibliography[heading=books]

\end{document}

What I would like to have is a bibliography ordered by an alphabetic order of the authors.


I would like to have this output:

... some text Gibson 1984...Carroll 1886

Bibliography:
Carroll ....
Gibson ....

Unfortunately I get a bibliography ordered following the order of the quotation in the text. The text quoted first is the first text in the bibliography.

This is what I get:

... some text Neuromancer...Alice

Bibliography:
Gibson ...
Caroll ...


Thank you very much for any help.

If you want to get concrete answers, you will have to present more than a preamble. Since you are not new to the forum, you should already know this.

It seems like all that is missing to make this an example is to add a \addbibresource line. But I can't reproduce any problem then, so there is probably something else in your actual document that really causes the problem. I think you know what to do to make it possible to help you.
