Incorrect order of bibliography items

Hi! I have an issue with zotero since the references in my paper don´t appear in the right order in the text but also in the bibliography section from the time I aggregated new references in between.
So, to give an example, I have this text:
"For this purpose at first the Grid Codes of Denmark[42], Ireland [43], Germany [136], [45], UK [46], Finland[137], Italy [47], [48], Spain [138] [49] and Norway [50] a....."

So the order of the references of Germany, Finland and Spain don´t make sense with the rest of them. Besides, these are my last 3 references in my bibliography section:

"[135] European Commission, ‘2020 climate & energy package’, Climate Action - European Commission, 23-Nov-2016. [Online]. Available: https://ec.europa.eu/clima/policies/strategies/2020_en. [Accessed: 03-Jul-2017].
[44] TenneT TSO GmbH, ‘Grid Code - High and extra high voltage -’, Nov. 2015.
[137] Fingrid, ‘Specifications for the Operational Performance of Power Generating Facilities VJV2013’.
[138] P. Ibarra et al., ‘Procedure for verification, validation and certification of t he requirements of the PO12.3 on the response of wind farms in the event of voltage dips’, 2012."

I have tried to put the reference number 44 between the numbers 43 and 45 with no success.
And these last 3 references don´t make sense since there are many other references after these. I have tried to edit citations, edit bibliography, refresh option, edit fields and nothing serves. Help!!
  • What citation style are you using?
  • Have you tried edit bibliography --> Revert all?

    Yes, and this solved part of the problem. Thank you. However, there is still an error. I have these references:
    "[43] EirGrid, ‘EirGrid Grid Code’, Version 6.0, Jul. 2015.
    [44] TenneT TSO GmbH, ‘Grid Code - High and extra high voltage -’, Nov. 2015.
    [45] TenneT TSO GmbH, ‘Grid Code - High and extra high voltage -’, Dec. 2012.
    [46] TenneT TSO GmbH, ‘Requirements for Offshore Grid Connections in the Grid of TenneT TSO GmbH’, Dec. 2012."

    And I want to remove [45] since [44] is the latest version of the document. I edit bibliography, remove this reference and now I get this:

    "[43] EirGrid, ‘EirGrid Grid Code’, Version 6.0, Jul. 2015.
    [44] TenneT TSO GmbH, ‘Grid Code - High and extra high voltage -’, Nov. 2015.
    [46] TenneT TSO GmbH, ‘Requirements for Offshore Grid Connections in the Grid of TenneT TSO GmbH’, Dec. 2012."

    So instead of updating the reference order zotero skips [45] and doesn´t change the rest. I have tried to refresh, to update table, to save and revert and still I don´t see the way of solving this issue.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Marta

  • Don’t remove the item from the bibliography. Instead, go find the citation to [45] in your document and replace it with a citation to [44]
  • I will try but now I get this message by the time I try to edit Bibliography:
    A bibliography in this document is corrupted

    and with this message zotero doesn´t allow me to access this menu
  • You can delete the whole bibliography and insert it again (make copy of your document before)
  • Yes, like LiborA says, just delete the bibliography entirely, then change the citation and re-insert the bibliography.
