Creating in-text citation out of alphabetical order

cstreet_1986

Hi,

When citing in APA 7th, I sometimes want to write something along the lines of (Amreen, 1999; Zeena, 1999; see also Bob, 1999). The forced alphabetical ordering of in-text citations, as far as I can tell, requires that I add the last citation as a suffix to the Zeena reference and then manually add Bob into the reference list afterwards. Naturally that is rather error-prone. Is there a better approach?

Thanks
Chris

You can remove the in-text sorting from the style. Then the citations are just sorted by the way you entered them. Then you can add the "see also" part as a prefix.
In APA that would be lines 1848-1853.

No need to change the style. There is a keep sources sorted option when you click the tiny triamgle/arrow at the left of the add citation bar. Uncheck that
