BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Problems with order of bibliography

[SveKn]

Hi everyone,

I am currently writing my thesis with LaTeX. Everything is working fine except the order of my bibliography.
To explain my problem I use this example.bib

Code: Select all

@misc{Axelos.2016,
	editor = {{AXELOS Ltd.}},
	year = {2014},
	title = {Introducing ITIL{\circledR}: The world's most widely used service management framework},
	url = {https://www.axelos.com/Corporate/media/Files/Brochures/ITIL_Product_Brochure_Conference_Version_v1.pdf},
	urldate = {2016-03-21}
}
@book{Beck.2005,
	author = {Beck, Kent and Andres, Cynthia},
	year = {2005},
	title = {Extreme programming explained: Embrace change},
	publisher = {Addison-Wesley},
	isbn = {0321278658}
}
@book{Dirksen.2013,
	author = {Dirksen, Jos},
	year = {2013},
	title = {SOA governance in action: REST and WS- architectures},
	address = {Shelter Island},
	publisher = {{Manning Publications Co.}},
	isbn = {9781617290275}
}

Usually, if I print this bib I would assume that the order of the book is

• Axelos.2016
  Beck.2005
  Dirksen.2013

but somehow the order is

• Beck.2005
  Dirksen.2013
  Axelos.2016

I analyzed it and figured out that this is because I double braced the editor in the Axelos.2016 reference.

So apparently LaTeX or whoever is building my bibliography (sorry, I am still new to LaTeX) orders the bibliography first with all natural persons (single braced) and second with all double braced editors/authors.

I use following statements:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[backend=bibtex, style=alphabetic]{biblatex}

\bibliography{Literatur/Literatur.bib}

\printbibliography

I searched for a similar topic in this forum and googled it, but I couldn't find any hint.

Can someone help me with this?

Do you need more of my code or is this enough?

Thank you very much for any help!

Making the code compilable would be super, that way we can click on open in writelatex and test using a smartphone on the bus.

Refer to Minimalbeispiel or minimal example and the filecontents environment.

Thanks for the reply.

You can find a minimal example of my code in the following code area:

Code: Select all

\begin{filecontents}{svekn_sample.bib}
	@book{Axelos.2016,
		editor = {{AXELOS Ltd.}},
		year = {2014},
		title = {Introducing ITIL: The world's most widely used service management framework},
		url = {https://www.axelos.com/Corporate/media/Files/Brochures/ITIL_Product_Brochure_Conference_Version_v1.pdf},
		keywords = {certification;it service management;itil;itil key benefits;itil value proposition;itsm;key benefits;qualifications;value;value proposition},
		urldate = {2016-03-21}
	}
	@book{Beck.2005,
		author = {Beck, Kent and Andres, Cynthia},
		year = {2005},
		title = {Extreme programming explained: Embrace change},
		address = {Boston, MA},
		edition = {2nd ed.},
		publisher = {Addison-Wesley},
		isbn = {0321278658}
	}
	@book{Dirksen.2013,

		isbn = {9781617290275}
	}
\end{filecontents}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[babel=true]{csquotes}

\bibliography{svekn_sample.bib}

	This is the first sentence \cite{Axelos.2016}.
	
	This is the second sentence \cite{Beck.2005}.
	
	This is the third sentence \cite{Dirksen.2013}.

	\printbibliography

Is there any solution for the problem?
It would be great if someone could help me!

Meanwhile posted on goLaTeX. The most simple solution is to use biber instead of BibTeX.
If you want to stick with BibTeX as the backend, you gotta manually define the label to use.


Sorry, this got lost in the stack.
