[Tex/LaTex] Problem with sorting literature order by entry type (misc, book,…) in BiBTeX

bibliographiesbibtexsorting

EDIT: I edited a "main" file and I added a .bib file.

I have problem with BibTeX – concretely with sorting literature order by entry type. The .cls file is HERE and .bst file is HERE.

Error:

! LaTeX Error: Command \bibhang already defined.
Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
...                                              

l.402 \newlength{\bibhang}

?

To solve the error with macro \bibhang comment the call of biblatex (both natbib and biblatex defines a macro \bibhang): 

\usepackage[square,sort,comma,numbers]{natbib}
%\usepackage[defernumbers=true]{biblatex}

To use package biblatex you have to change some lines in your MWE:

  • change \bibliography{mybibliographyfile} to \printbibliography
  • add after calling package biblatex the macro \addbibresource{mybibliographyfile.bib}
  • comment %\usepackage[square,sort,comma,numbers]{natbib}
  • To use BibTeX with biblatex add the biblatex option ,backend=bibtex
  • Do not use bibliographystyle csn690 with BibLaTeX.

Because you don't specified which error you have with the sorting I can't help you there. I suugest you can ask a follow up question for this.

So this should compile:

\documentclass[thesis=B,czech]{FITthesis}[2012/06/26]

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage{graphicx}
%\usepackage{dirtree}
%\usepackage[square,sort,comma,numbers]{natbib}
\usepackage[%
  defernumbers=true
 ,natbib
 ,backend=bibtex
]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{mybibliographyfile.bib}
