Citation b before a

melissavasi
Hi all,

I'm writing a research paper.
I don't understand why Zotero assigns the letter b to the first quote I make from Author 2003 instead of the letter a:
"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua (Author, 2003b). Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat (Author, 2003a)."

It is sorted correctly in the bibliography:
Author. (2003a). Title
Author. (2003b). Title

Already updated the software version and refreshed my references.

Thank you for your help!

Melissa

    Because Zotero goes by the order in the bibliography, which in turn is alphabetical by title. Thus can be changed, but for most styles this is correct behavior

    And specifically if you are using APA style, this is the correct behavior.
