Sorting of multiple citations with biblatex












5















I would like multiple citations to be sorted with respect to the order that they appear in the references, no matter the order in which I write them.



Please see the following MWE. It produces




First: [1,2] Second: [2,1]




whereas I would like it to produce:




First: [1,2] Second: [1,2]




with the same code.





main.tex



% main.tex
documentclass{article}

usepackage[
hyperref=true,
backend=bibtex,
firstinits=true,
maxbibnames=99,
]{biblatex}

bibliography{references}
begin{document}


First: cite{first,second}
Second: cite{second,first}

end{document}


references.bib



% references.bib
@misc{first,
title={Reference A}
author={Alice}
year={1980}
}

@misc{second,
title={Reference B}
author={Bob}
year={2000}
}

By the way, you should use the more modern biber with biblatex!



The option you are looking for is named sortcites:



documentclass{article}

begin{filecontents*}{references.bib}
@misc{first,
title={Reference A},
author={Alice},
year={1980},
}

@misc{second,
title={Reference B},
author={Bob},
year={2000},
}
end{filecontents*}

usepackage[
sortcites,
backend=biber,
hyperref=true,
firstinits=true,
maxbibnames=99,
]{biblatex}

addbibresource{references.bib}
begin{document}


First: cite{first,second}
Second: cite{second,first}

printbibliography

end{document}


Result:result
