I prefer the apalike
bibliography style with the number in brackets in front (see also this post and this post). However what I am curious about is how to align the first and subsequent text lines neatly next to the number in brackets.
Does anyone know how to do this?

You can update some of the settings loaded by the
thebibliography
environment to a set of fixed lengths:You can increase the two length measures
1.2em
that forms part of\makelabel
and setting\labelwidth
if you have more than 9 references.
