Citation order

[ddhendriks]

LS,

I'm updating my submission paper, and I'm finding that the citation order in the PDF differs from the order I write it in the .md file.

Specifically:

[@izzardNewSyntheticModel2004; @izzardPopulationNucleosynthesisSingle2006; @izzardPopulationSynthesisBinary2009; @izzardBinaryStarsGalactic2018]

appears as

The associated BibTeX entries are:

I am using the following command to generate the pdf file:

sudo docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/data -u $(id -u):$(id -g) openjournals/inara -o pdf,crossref paper.md

How can I fix the correct order of the years in the pdf?

I'm pretty sure that the citations end up being sorted in alphabetical order by the citation key. Which, I agree, feels like a somewhat silly approach. But perhaps you can use it to hack the system...

@tarleb – do you know what's happening here?

[tarleb]

I think the authors names are used for sorting, although it is not clear to me if APA actually requires this. I'll take a closer look at our apa.csl style definition.

I think this is a result of jgm/citeproc#126. I'll update Inara to use the latest pandoc, which should eliminate the issue.
