BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Problem with unsrt

[timantha]

Hi all,

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think unsrt is supposed to sort the bibliography list at the very end in the order you cited it. so let's say

\cite{xx} blab blah \cite{zz} blab bbla \cite{yy}

then the list should be
[1] xx
[2] zz
[3] yy

I am still using the unsrt.bst. Following the same manner I've made my references above, my list goes like this.

[1] yy
[2] xx
[3] zz

wherein everything else is in order except for the fact that it misplaced a reference cited later to the top of the list and made it [1] instead of [3]. I am still using unsrt and not plain. I still have the same problem with IEEEtran.bst. I've tried searching for the forum first but when it comes to the wrong order in the list, previous users used plain and that was how they got the error.

How could I fix this such that it properly puts everything to order as I've intended to?

Thank you so much for the time and help, in advance.

We'll need a minimum working example (including the \bibliography command) to find what's wrong. The minimal code you provided will produce the bibliography as xx followed by yy followed by zz, unless you changed the order of the references and didn't run BibTeX again, of course.

you've probably figured it out, but i had the same problem, and it turned out that it was owing to the fact that i had put a reference in a figure caption later on, and for some reason then made this reference [1].
maybe you have the same thing?
i removed that it is worked fine
