how to rearrange citations?

Dear Zotero Users,

I wrote a document 200 pages,

I used Zotero for bibliography,

I added 190 citations,

When I finished the document I read it one more time and added some new bibliography so that e.g. citation [191] is on page 13 next to [12] , [192] on page 47 next to [27],

Bibliography must by arranged by increasing numbers,

How can I rearrange citations to e.g. on page 13 next to [12] let [191] be [13] ?

best regards
  • generally all you'd need to do is click the Refresh button in the word add-on.
    If that doesn't work -- which citation style?
  • thx again,

    no, it didn't work,

    I use Nature Publishing Group Vancouver but in the and I need to undo bold and italica in this style,

    do you have any idea how to do it?

    best regards


  • if you modified citations manually, I'm not sure if updating still works, I'm sorry to say.
  • ok,

    I have a document without modification,

    how to reorganize them in it?



  • they would normally just update when you insert the citation; are they not?

    If you add a new citation, does that get added to the bibliography?
  • yes, it does give next numbers,

    but when I add new citation e.g. in the middle of document it gives next number and refresh doesn't reupdate so that the number in the middle have similar numbers,

    it makes disorder in numbering because I have nuber [12] next to [191] and page 13

    I can mail you a page with this or print screen

  • could you try this with a small sample document just to check this is working correctly in general -- insert two citations, then insert a third one between the two, see if the citaitons numbers update?
  • ok, I checked many sentenced copied form my work as you wrote,

    everything is fine - while selecting two fragments I did literature on my own, that's why Zotero didn't rearranged them - my fault,

    thank you very much for helping me,

    with your help and Zotero writing big work is much easier,

    best regards
