i'm new, so I hope to do everything correctly 😀
My question is fairly simple:
I've the natbib package loaded in a document, and some bibliography entries have no author. Those entries are put at the beginning of the bibliography, creating a somehow bad effect on the reader (at a first glance to the bib first page is not possible to tell the order in which the entries are presented).
Question is: how do I change it?
What I've tried so far:
- the "key" field: it doesn't work. The following image presents what happens if I set "key={zzzzz}" for a bibliography entry with no author:
A working example:
\documentclass[a4paper]{report}
\usepackage{natbib}
\begin{document}
\title{Title}
\author{Name}
\date{Date}
\maketitle
Blah Blah \citet{aida}
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{thesisbib}
\end{document}
with:
@ELECTRONIC{aida,
year = {2011-2012},
title = {Aida database},
organization = {Bureau Van Dijk},
url = {http://aida.bvdep.com},
key = {zzzzzz}
}
thanks!

The solution I propose is to use the
cite
package instead ofnatbib
.I encountered the same problem as you when citing websites. The only reason I used
natbib
was to numerically sort multiple citations ([1,3,4] instead of [3,4,1]), but thecite
package also sorts citations.
