Subject: Re: Multiple authors/Same year : A bug ? Author: John-Arnold (Enthusiast) Date: 07-02-2009 11:25 PM Can you tell us what style you are using?   Some styles put the a, b, etc in the order of the reference list, and if the reference list is sorted by author then title it is quite possible to have "b" come before "a" legitimately.   Cheers, John

Subject: Re: Multiple authors/Same year : A bug ? Author: niccoben (New User) Date: 07-02-2009 11:36 PM I am using a slightly modified version of "Oxford-Author Date".   However, this does not seem to be the problem, because no matter which article I cite first, it gets letter "b" (and the bibliography seems to be adjusted accordingly by switching the articles).    Maybe I should modify the style to change the sorting order of the bibliography, but then I do not want this to affect all the other citations. Here are the two culprits :   Cheney, G. (1983), 'The Rhetoric of Identification and the Study of Organizational Communication', Quarterly Journal of Speech, 69, 143-158.   Cheney, G. (1983), 'On the Various and Changing Meanings of Organizational Membership: A Field Study of Organizational Identification', Communication Monographs, 50, 324-362.      Nicolas

Subject: Re: Multiple authors/Same year : A bug ? Author: John-Arnold (Enthusiast) Date: 07-03-2009 12:17 AM The sort order in the Oxford-Author Date output style for in-text citations and bibliography are different, and I think this is what is causing the peculiar order of citations, particularly when there are different citations with the same single author published in the same year.   Citation sort order= First author by Year by Title Bibliography sort order= First author by Number of authors by Year   I would probably change Citations > Sort Order in the output style - exactly what to depends on what the Oxford-Author Date requires/you are trying to achieve; perhaps to "Same as bibliography"?   Cheers, John

Subject: Re: Multiple authors/Same year : A bug ? Author: lightkeeper54 (New User) Date: 07-03-2009 01:44 AM If your references are really what you typed, then there are a different number of spaces in the names, which could cause an unexpected sorting order. Check that the author for both references is exactly the same.
