Biotropica in-text citation order not correct - need urgent help

cssimmons · June 17, 2018

I am using Biotropica style from zotero with Word Mac plugin. I have made sure all is updated. The in text citations are not in any order. Please, can you help me fix this. It appears to be putting citations in the order I aded them when I created multiple citations.

This is from my document:
(Killeen 2007, da Silva Soito & Freitas 2011, Walker & Simmons 2018, Laurance 2007).

This is what it should be:
(Killeen 2007, Laurance 2007, da Silva Soito & Freitas 2011, Walker & Simmons 2018).

If I use a different style, it has the correct order but instead it uses "and" and ";".

I would appreciate help with this since I need to get this paper out today. to sure if anyone is out there.

Thanks
Cynthia

Can you give a link to the journal guidelines show that items should be sorted alphabetically?

It should be date order. As it is from zotero there is no order. The journal does not give explicit directions, but all the journals use this order.

I mean all the articles in the journal use year order for in text citations.

we've fixed the style: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:biotropica

You can update it and it'll sort by year.
