bibtexmultibibsorting
I'm using multibib to generate a list of publications for my cv (using moderncv). The problem is that the entries are sorted alphabetically, whereas I'd like them to be sorted by year, with the newest on top.
There are some answers here on how to do it with natbib, but I had no success in doing it with multibib and the documentation is of no help as well, unfortunately.
You are using a standard BibTeX style with natbib. You should be using the unsrtnat style rather than unsrt as you are using the natbib package.
For users of traditional BibTeX, i.e., without using biblatex:
Copy TEXMF/bibtex/bst/base/alpha.bst to a new file alpha-abbrvsort.bst in a place where BibTeX will find it. Open it in an text editor, locate the function presort, and comment the four lines as shown here:
FUNCTION {presort}
{ calc.label
% sort.label %% four lines commented out to obtain presort of abbrv.bst
% " " %%
% * %%
type$ "book" =
type$ "inbook" =
or
'author.editor.sort
{ type$ "proceedings" =
'editor.organization.sort
{ type$ "manual" =
'author.organization.sort
'author.sort
if$
}
if$
}
if$
% * %%
" "
*
year field.or.null sortify
*
" "
*
title field.or.null
sort.format.title
*
#1 entry.max$ substring$
'sort.key$ :=
}
Save and close, and use it as normal:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{PulpSpy.bib}
@misc{a, author={Chaum, D.}, title = {Untracable ...}, year = {1981}}
@misc{b, author={Chamenisch, J. and Lysyanskaya, A.}, title={Signature...}, year={2004}}
@misc{c, author={Chaum, D. and T. Pedersen, T.}, title={Wallet...}, year={1992}}
\end{filecontents}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{alpha-abbrvsort}
\bibliography{PulpSpy}
\end{document}

The
plainyr-ref.bstworks for me. However, within a year, it sorts by author names in reverse order. How can I change this?
