Citations in Springer Style not in alphabetical order

jlachapelle76

I am using the Springer basic style (author date, no et al, with issue numbers).
I will publish in SN Social Sciences, but their citations in the text are placed in alphabetical order, not chronologically. What can I do for my citations to be in alphabetical order in the citation? Right now, I have to place them manually within the citation box.
Thank you for your help!

I am aware of these guidelines, but Zotero lists them chronologically first, and would like to know how to list them in alphabetical order first, and chronological order second.
Thank you,
Julie

It's not for you, it's for people involved in creating/updating citation styles. So they don't waste their time searching for the guidelines. Hence the parentheses.

(Adamsmith, would it make sense to make a new, alphatical flavour of the springer-brackets style here?)
