v13.25: creating bibliography list changes sort

Post by dtoub »

I often take a hit list of references sorted by first author and create a file with the references. They always respect the sort order in Bookends (ie, last name of first author). However, the latest version of Bookends seems to create an order in the resultant file that is not in any clear order. For example, here is how the citations are sorted in Bookends in my hit list:

Here is how the resultant file has them sorted:

Any ideas? I can't get this to sort in the resultant file automatically. Thanks.

It depends on the format you're using to generate the bibliography. I'm guessing sorting isn't turned on.
