By default (using the plain
style) BibTeX orders citations alphabetically.
How to order the citations by order of appearance in the document?
You can manage your references and bibliography in LaTex using the BibTex system. BibTex allows you to automatically generate and format a bibliography in a LaTeX document. You can do this by storing them in separate BibTeX database files (. bib extension).
Use BibTeX To do this we need the commands \bibliography (which tells LaTeX where the . bib file is located) and \bibliographystyle (which selects the appropriate bibliography style we need). Type your text here. This text requires a citation \cite{Dummy:1} to embed the citation in the required position in the text.
There are three good answers to this question.

, you'd write something like
\documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage[sorting=none]{biblatex} \bibliography{journals,phd-references} % Where journals.bib and phd-references.bib are BibTeX databases \begin{document} \cite{robertson2007} \cite{earnshaw1842} \printbibliography \end{document}
