Cite Reference by Number, but Sort Bibliography Alphabetically

[StuartMCain]

I'm trying to create a list of references with Pflugers Achive - European Journal of Physiology. The current style cites each reference with a number (which is correct), but sorts the reference by numeric value, whereas the journal requires it to be sorted by number and alphabetically (see below or here http://www.springer.com/biomed/human+physiology/journal/424).

How do I change the reference list to sort alphabetically, number the references in the list, then apply these to the citations?

Examaple:

Citation Reference citations in the text should be identified by numbers in square brackets. Some examples:

1. Negotiation research spans many disciplines [3].
2. This result was later contradicted by Becker and Seligman [1].
3. This effect has been widely studied [2].

sorry no one replied to you here, but this is a bug tracker for the visual editor; you should ask questions on how to modify styles in a specific way on the forum/support channel of the reference manager you're using. You can also directly report style errors there.
