Dear all, I am experiencing problems with the bibliography. My bibliographystyle is apa like. In the minimal example given below the maybe year is not set up correctly. That is I would expect to have
(Firstauthor et al., 2012a,2011,2012b)
but I get
(Firstauthor et al., 2012,2011,2012).
It took me some time to reproduce this error. My description of the error is
probably quite difficult to follow. I hope the example is more intuitive:
The reason for this problem to occur is that the entries in the bbl file are
probably processed according to the alphabetic order of the last name of the
authors. If one refers to an author publishing several articles in a single
year (in my example 2012) and there is an additional publication that is
published in another year (in my example 2011), the ordering is essentially
determined by the first letter of the last name of the second author (if it was
a different second author, otherwise third author and so on).
If the letter of the second author in the publication published in the year in
which there was only a single publication (in my example 2011) happens to be
inbetween the letter of the second author on the two publications published in
the year in which there have been two publications (in my example the
publications in 2012), the publication (in my example 2011) will appear
inbetween those that appeared in the same year (in my example 2012). This
results in the maybeyear to be screwed up.
The listing will be
Firstauthor et al., 2012
Firstauthor et al., 2011
Firstauthor et al. 2012
instead of
Firstauthor et al., 2012a
Firstauthor et al., 2011
Firstauthor et al., 2012b
Cheers,
Andreas
