Ordercite is a small program to help you establish whether your
bibliography (references) is in the same order as the citations to
it (in a LaTeX document). Originally in C++ (v2) it has now been
rewritten in perl (v3) to give increased functionality (automatic
reordering of references).
It either confirms that all is OK or prints out two columns
corresponding to the order of the citations (first appearance) and
that of the references. If the order is wrong but all citations are
resolved (and there are no uncited references) then it produces a
new file with the references sorted into the correct order. With
the "-nochecks" option (new in v3.1), the new file is created even
if references are missing or uncited.
Download current version: ordercite (v3.1).
Place the file ordercite in your bin directory, and make it
executable with "chmod +x ordercite" (you may also need
to edit the path for perl in the first line of the file -- you can
find out what the local path is by typing "which
perl").
To run it, type "ordercite filename.tex". Running it
without any arguments will give more detailed usage
instructions.
Example output (entries flagged with a * are those
that need to be re-ordered):
