Re: author/date sort problem
Author: Lee Lim    Posted: Fri, 15 Jul 2005 13:25:00 -0800

Dear Debbie,

My experience is with RM9.5.

When you activate "Generate Bibligraphy" a window for "Bibliography
Setup" pops up.
The 3rd and 4th fields if the Reference List tab allow you to choose
"Reference List Order" and "In-Text Citation Order".

Perhaps you would like to delete the last generated reference list and
re-activate it again and set to the reference list order to "Citation
order" before you hit OK.

It will list the reference in order of your in-text citation.

Regards,

Hi
Can anyone help with this problem - Refman tech support have said not,
and that there is no known workaround, but maybe someone out there knows
different.
I am just finalising my PhD thesis, and when I generate the bibliography
I have two problems (using a Harvard-style style).
First, within the text citations, when I am citing more than one work by
the same author, it is putting the authors in alphabetical order but not
in date order - the date order is random.
In the generated bibliography I have the same problem - the authors are
in order, but the dates are random. I am drawing on a number of
databases for the bibliography (about ten). The software is recognising
that several references are by the same author, but not getting the
dates within that sorted.
I am using my own style, based on the American Psychological
Association, but I have now tried to generate this bibliography with a
number of different output styles that come with Refman, and I always
have the same problem. Any help would be much appreciated as I am
otherwise facing very substantial amendments by hand - and indeed I
cannot even work out a way to resolve the in-text citation problem
manually, since you can't change the order (it re-sets when you print).

Many thanks Debbie

"Overall, Reference Manager is an excellent citation manager. It is simple enough to be used out of the box and not too intimidating for a new user. Equally, though, it contains enough powerful features and customisation to satisfy advanced users."
Information World Review

"It's highly recommended for anyone needing a powerful reference tool."
