Using letters after the year to distinguish between same author and same year citations
Hi,
I am using APA 7th edition and thought with this style, references with same author and year would be assigned like this with letters attached to the year: (Author et al. 2020a, Author et al. 2020b). In my case, the second author is used instead, like (Author1, Author 2 et al. 2020; Author1, other Author2 et al. 2020).
How can I change it to letters? Or am I wrong and this is the right result for this citation style? What similar style could i use instead?
Thank you!

There are some author-date styles that only use a,b,c to disambiguate, but if you want to/have to use APA, I'd stick with the correct implementation you're currently getting.
