A numeric APA style??
I am writing a paper for a proceeding and they describe in its template this kind of bibliography
"Use a numbered list at the end of the article, ordered alphabetically and formatted following APA format style."
Here is an example:
[1] Bowman, M., Debray, S. K., and Peterson, L. L. 1993. Reasoning about Naming Systems. ACM Trans. Program. Lang. Syst. 15, 5 (Nov. 1993), 795-825. DOI= http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/161468.16147.
and They also put numerical citation inside the text, not author and year as APA style I do not know how to make it work. There is a way that APA style can be numeric?? I try to use IEEE style but it is different and the authors in the bibliography does not appear in alphabetical order. Any help please.

You can see if you find something similar in the repository - or you may need to change or request a style.

(though the latter currently takes a while.)
What is fun about the concept is that such a style is practicable only with electronic document processing; every time you insert a new reference, it will change reference numbers at random locations all over the document. It would drive you nuts trying to do the copy editing by hand.
The processor is designed to cope with it; I guess we'll find out whether it fulfills its promise. Let's hope so. :)
