[Tex/LaTex] bibliography in alphabetical order

sorting

I am using bibliography in the text as bibitem and citing this in the text it is coming correctly. Later I need to have bibiliography in the alphabetical order. How do I do it. I checked already given answers. Still I have doubt. Please, give me a piece of code which clearly gives the answer. Please, see the LaTeX code below for main file as well as reference file egbib.bib

\section{Introduction}

All physical systems are nonlinear in nature. Nonlinear control design technique like backstepping considers the nonlinearity also during design. The 1991 Bode lecture at IEEE CDC, held by Kokotovic was devoted to backstepping and in 1992 kanellakopoulos presented a mathematical toolkit for design of backstepping control laws. During the following year text books by Kristic \cite{kristic} Freeman , Kokotovic and Sepulchre were published.

The discrete-time feedback control techniques such as feedback linearization, backstepping and state dependent riccati equation methods in \cite{ref2}\cite{ref3} and  missile autopilot design was also considered in \cite{ref2} .The application of discrete time backstepping  to  various systems is given in \cite{ref2}\cite{ref4}.

The backstepping control technique is found to have a lot of advantages compared to feedback linearization and gain scheduling. Backstepping does not require exact model for design \cite{ref3}\cite{ref5}.The backstepping technique can solve tracking and regulator problems. It can also provide dead beat control and exact tracking of any desired trajectory in finite time and exploits the flexibility offered by lower order and scalar systems. Backstepping technique takes advantage of useful nonlinearities which help in making the Lyapunov derivative negative definite \cite{kristic}.The discrete backstepping technique has been applied to roll control and sideslip angle control of a reusable launch vehicle. The system is discretized first and then the controller is developed step by step and has given very good tracking and stabilizing performance.

my requirement is all bibiliographic items should come in the text and it should be in alphabetical order.
thank you

Well, are you giving us a free hand by just demanding alphabetical sorting? ;-) You can use natbib, replace all \cite with \citet (or \citep if you like) and put this for example

\bibliographystyle{apa}

[Tex/LaTex] Bibliography entry out of alphabetical order with character Ş

All special characters need to be grouped separately. As such, use

%...
author = {{\c{S}}eng{\"{o}}r, Ali Mehmet Cel{\^{a}}l and Natal'in, Boris A.},
%...

The reason for the misplaced sorting is because the sorting is probably based on cSengor (stripping all the "special stuff").

The following is taken verbatim from BibTeX Tips and FAQ (p 6) - consider reading about half way down:

Q5: I am confused about the diﬀerence between special characters and the use of braces to protect text from case changes. Also, when should I “shield” things with braces?

The rules that govern all this are simple, but confusing. BibTeX considers everything within a {\ .. } construct at brace level 0 (and only brace level 0), that is the top level of bracing of the field (which is not affected by whether quotes or braces are used to delimit the entire field), to be a “special character” and will treat is though the entire construct is a single character. Within special characters, control sequences (LaTeX commands) will be preserved as is, but all other text may be case changed or otherwise processed as needed. Furthermore, within special characters, additional levels of braces do not increment the brace level. On the other hand, { .. } constructs at brace level 0 (the key here is that a \ does not immediately follow the opening brace — if so, it would make it a special character) do increment the brace level as well as do nested braces within them. All text and control sequences at brace level 1 or higher is protected from case changes or other processing.
It is perhaps easier to understand from an example. Consider:
title = "L0 {\relax S0 {S0 {S0}}} L0 {L1 {\relax L2 {L3}} L1} \LaTeX\ L0"
where Lx indicates brace level x and Sx indicates a (part of a) special character at brace level x. Again, nothing would change here if braces had been used to delimit the entire field instead of quotes. The three S0’s are all considered to be part of the same special character because they are all within a {\ .. } construct at brace level 0. Text at S0 may be case changed, but the \relax as well as other control sequences in S0 will not be changed. Note that the additional nested braces within the special character do not increment the brace level. Thus, there is no such thing as S1 or higher. The first L1 is at brace level 1 because it is a { .. } (and not a special character). Note that in this case, additional levels of braces do increment the brace level counter. Furthermore, the second {\relax .. is not treated as a special character because it occurs at brace level 1. All characters and control sequences at L1 and higher will be protected from case changes. Note that in this example the control sequence \LaTeX is subject to case changes. Thus, if the bibstyle set the title to lowercase, the resultant \latex command would likely generate an error.
With all this in mind, we can look at some practical examples. Consider:
title = "Secrets of {NASA}"
NASA needs to be enclosed in braces because it is an acronym that must remain in uppercase. Likewise, we usually need to protect math from case changes:
title = "The {$A_\beta$} Protocol"
Simple argumentless LaTeX commands are also easily protected:
title = "The {\LaTeX} Book"
However, note that in this case, \LaTeX will be treated as a special character and so the text “LaTeX” will not be considered when sorting. Thus, in cases where the name of the LaTeX command is identical to the text it represents, it may be better to use an extra set of braces so that the letters that make up the command will be taken into consideration when sorting:
title = "The {{\LaTeX}} Book"
[...]
Another application of brace shielding is with titles in languages (such as German) in which title capitalization must be preserved with some words (such as nouns and names):
title = "{M}essung von {S}t{\"o}rfeldern an {A}nlagen
         und {L}eitungen der {T}elekommunikation im
         {F}requenzbereich 9 {kHz} bis 3 {GHz}",
Note that {\"o} is treated as a special character and the “o” is not protected against case changes. However, the first letter of the nouns are protected because they are at brace level 1.
Things get a bit more complicated when a LaTeX command has an argument. The correct approach depends on whether the argument needs to be protected from case changes. Consider:
note = "Volume~2 is listed under Knuth \cite{TEX:book}"
If the bibstyle changes the note ﬁeld to lowercase, we will get:
volume~2 is listed under knuth \cite{TEX:book}
so we will likely want to enclose first letter of Knuth’s last name in braces. Furthermore, if we had an unusual bibstyle that rendered the note field in uppercase, we would get:
VOLUME~2 IS LISTED UNDER KNUTH \CITE{TEX:book}
which would result in an error when the nonexistent \CITE is executed. We might be tempted to try something like this:
note = "Volume~2 is listed under Knuth {\cite}{TEX:book}"
but this won’t work because the extra braces around the \cite command will prevent it from seeing its argument:
VOLUME~2 IS LISTED UNDER KNUTH {\cite}{TEX:book}
Instead, we might try something like this:
note = "Volume~2 is listed under {K}nuth {\cite{TEX:book}}"
However, this is not safe either because the cite key “TEX:book” is now considered to be part of a special character and so it may be case changed (just like the second S0 in the example before)! Therefore, we need to employ an additional set of braces to get the \cite command and its argument to brace level(s) greater than zero:
note = "Volume~2 is listed under {K}nuth {{\cite{TEX:book}}}"
so as to ensure everything will work regardless of what the bibstyle does to the note field.
It is usually a good idea to let the .bst file convert/format the fields as it sees fit — so don’t force things with extra braces unless you have to. Future versions of BibTeX may be more intelligent with respect to case changing and thus may require fewer “manual interventions” with braces. [...]

[Tex/LaTex] biblatex – quote in chronological order but bibliography list must be alphabetical order

Having different sorting within the text and the bibliography is currently possible with the development versions of biblatex and biber.
(UPDATE: By now biblatey 2.x and corresponding biber are released and incuded in both MiKTeX and Texlive 2012.)

The sorting scheme for citations has to be defined in the preamble. The sorting scheme for the bibliography is defined as an option to \printbibliography.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=authoryear,sortcites,sorting=ynt]{biblatex}
\usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref}

\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet \parencite{cicero}.
At vero eos et accusam et justo \parencite{wassenberg,angenendt}.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet \parencite{wassenberg,cicero,angenendt}.
\printbibliography[sorting=nyt]
\end{document}
