Journal of Virology needs correction in bibliography

walmark
I just tried to generate bibliography for my article and realized that there is a slight mistake in the style formatting. I'm not sure about exact terms, but basically the number in order should be aligned with the left margin, and all the text (authors, titles, etc) should be tabbed away from it. So all the text aligns approx. 0.5 in from the margin, and only the order numbers touch the margin. Currently everything aligns to the left, which is wrong. The example of correct can be found here:

Can this be corrected?
Thanks!

    it's fixed on the repository, check the date next to
    "Amercian Society of Microbiology" to see if it's gone through. Then either updated your virology style or the AMS style directly (JoV just links there)

    Thank you very much, that was quick!

    So far it still shows 2008-10-21 16:10:35... Once it changes, I'll check it out and post the results.

    Hmm, another strange things I found about it:
    - for some reason the mutliple citations seem to be listed in txt "at random". For example, for some reason it lists (27, 35, 7, 12) rather than (7, 12, 27, 35). Don't know if it is due to the fact that the citation was edited to add more references, but I still think it should reorder automatically even if more references are added. The bibliography is arranged correctly.

    EDIT: Just opening it and closing with the edit citation function seems to fix it. Still, not sure why it happens.

    there is a small sorting bug - it's in all of Zotero and doesn't have anything to do with the style
    I'm glad it's that easy to fix.
