[Tex/LaTex] Having problems with sorting citation inline with biblatex and biber

biblatex

I am working on my thesis and having some problem with citations.
I am using biber and natbib.

The thing is when I cite in line with \citep{ } and want to cite several author like:
\citep{B-Athor, A-Author, Y-Author} it does not sort the authors in alphabetically manner, it gives me the sequence in which I put it in the \citep{ } (B-Athor, A-Author, Y-Author) and not (A-Author, B-Athor, Y-Author).

At the end in the bibliography everything is sorted alphabtically

A second thing is that if I habe several papers from the same author but different years it gives me (A-Author 1200, A-Author 1300) I want: (A-Author 1200, 1300).

enter image description here

Than in the bibliography it gives me:

enter image description here

and not (I want it this way):

 A-Author 1200, Informaation about paper
 A-Author 1300, Informaation about paper

Hope someone can help

This here should compile and produce the problems that I have, using biber:

 \citet{ bender:1975, bender:1968, bender:1974}

   \printbibliography

 \end{document}

using he .bib file:

@Book{bender:1975,
  Title                    = {Geology of the Arabian Peninsula - Jordan},
  Author                   = {F. Bender},

You want the option dashed=false and the style authoryear-comp.

Your MWE then becomes

[Tex/LaTex] problems with biblatex and biber

Because the \addbibresource command in biblatex can in fact open other types of resources than .bib files (most notably, URLs, and experimentally RIS, and some XML formats), the file extension .bib is required. This is quite different from the \bibliography command (which it replaced) in which the extension was implicit.

So the solution to your problem is to use:

\addbibresource{<your-bib-file>.bib}

[Tex/LaTex] Citing (author, journalabbr., year) needed

First thing to do is to add a field for the journal abbreviation to the article entrytype, journalabbr in the MWE. Therefore you need to declare a datamodel (an extra file; in the MWE I've used filecontents to simulate that) and you have to tell biblatex/biber to use it in the package options.

Then you have to modify the cite command, so it fits your needs. \citep from the authoryear-style (your citestyle) uses the \cite command. There you just have to add a switch, which checks if the field journalabbr is empty or not, and prints it out or not.

Last but not least you have to add the abbreviation fields to the entries.

MWE:

\begin{filecontents}{min.bib}
@article{boisson2003unexpected,
  title={Unexpected protein families including cell defense components feature in the N-myristoylome of a higher eukaryote},
  author={Boisson, B. and Giglione, Carmela and Meinnel, Thierry},
  journal={Journal of Biological Chemistry},
  journalabbr={JBC},
  year={2003},
  publisher={ASBMB}
}
\end{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{authorjabbryear.dbx}
\ProvidesFile{authorjabbryear.dbx}
\DeclareDatamodelFields[type=field,datatype=literal]{journalabbr}
\DeclareDatamodelEntryfields[article]{journalabbr}
\end{filecontents}

How it should look like: 

(Boisson et al., JBC, 2003)

\printbibliography
