Which citation style are you using?

So IEEE does this correctly.
Are the citations still linked (grey)?

Can you test this in a new document?

yes it's still linked.

i want to add another citation in between citation numbber [22] and [23], but when i click add citation there's a notification pop up and it says that when i put "new citation" (it means it's entirely new citation reference from journal x that's never been input before on my document citation) and it'll be read in zotero as "the last citation" and the it displays [41]

so more or less like this :
".....blablablabla[22], lmao[41]. So that jajajajajaja[23]..."

what it should be
".....blablablabla[22], lmao[23]. So that jajajajajaja[24]..."


also the reference list in the last page of my document becomes like this :
[1] blablabla....
[2] blablabla...
...
[22] blablabla
[23]jajajajajaja
...
[41]lmao

instead of this
[1] blablabla....
[2] blablabla...
...
[22] blablabla
[23]lmao
[24]jajajajajaja
...
[41](reference from citation number 40 became the last)

*pardon my rudeness, i'm really in hurry since i need to meet my prof in next monday.
