Thanks for this suggestion - of course the problem was that I did not
enter the references in any particular order as I did not anticipate
this problem so this is a mammoth task, potentially, as I would have to
go through each citation and manually re-order them first.
I have now posted a different suggested workaround for this bug to the
list
- if it fails then I will certainly try this,
Many thanks
Debbie

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.

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
