Bibliography out of order in RC1-RC5
Since upgrading my bibliography is now not in alphabetical order.
Handing in my thesis on friday, not looking forward to having to trawl through that list.
Using FFox 2.0.0.8 on Win XP
Word 2007
Liking the extra features - starting to look really slick now!

Another thing I've noticed is that the reference list entries have blank lines between them, but this is easy to solve manually.
I've also noticed the problem of initials in citations, but this was where the authors had multiple references and one or more had a different entry in the initials field, e.g. P. G., Paul, Paul G., etc. I think this behaviour is ok, though I'd like a nicer solution one day (maybe zotero could massage the initials when building the reference, or ask if it is the same author)
A more serious problem I've noticed is that the authors are not ordered alphabetically in the citations either. They are listed in the order I selected them. I can solve this by selecting them in alphabetical order, but this needs to be addressed.

The reference list entries are still separated by a blank line. Is this removable?
I've done this, but my references are still not in alphabetical order. Any other tips?
Many thanks
Yes, that works. Can I somehow reformat the document it doesn't work in?
Thanks
Not sure if this is a similar problem, but...
I can't seem to keep the citations in order of appearance in the text -- in either Nature Journal or NLM style.
When an earlier reference (say #5) is cited again later in the body of the text, it gets re-numbered to the next available slot (say #20) in the reference list. The strange thing is, this is not consistent -- some get re-numbered but others don't. I've tried re-entering all citations, updating translators, entering in a new Word document.. without any success.
I am using zotero 1.0.1 and MS Word 2004 on Mac OS X (10.4.10).
Thanks so much.
i just double-checked my library, and there are no duplicates in my library.
i should clarify: The same reference doesn't appear multiple times in my bibliography, and there is no mismatching of citation number in the body of text I'm writing and the reference number in the list of references (at the end of the document).
The issue is this: Initially, I see that citations are numbered in the order that they appear in the text (e.g. "3,4" on page 1), and the references are numbered correctly in the reference list. As I move along, after citing 20 distinct references, I cite references 4 again in the text, let's say on page 10. Instead of appearing as "4", this reference is suddenly re-numbered as "20". On page 1, the "3,4" is also changed to "3,20". All references that used to be numbered 5 and higher have been re-numbered to one lower. The citation numbers (in the text) still indicate correct references, but the the numbers are no longer in the order that they appear in the text.
whew... Sorry about the length, simon. i wasn't sure how else to describe the problem. It's a very small glitch, but since the journal editor requires that the citations are in order of appearance, i had to turn to you guys...
again, thanks so much for an amazing product!
No re-instalation seems to work
Edit: Ok - reproduced it in word and OO 2.3. I've raised a ticket #857.
A workaround that sometimes works is to change the style to another one, and then change back. Sometimes this reorders them correctly, sometimes not.
