Package: bibtool
Version: 2.46-2
Severity: normal
When you sort a bibtex database with bibtool,
bibtool does not keep cross-referenced entries
after the entries that do the cross-referencing.
This causes bibtex to later complain bitterly,
and causes the user to re-order the entries
by hand, and complain (but not bitterly).
For instance, the following entries
need to be in this order:
@Book{ gelman:etal:advanced,
crossref = {gelman:etal},
pages = "18--25"
}
@Book{ gelman:etal:contbayes,
crossref = {gelman:etal},
pages = "7--11"
}
@Book{ gelman:etal,
author = "Andrew B. Gelman and John S. Carlin and Hal S. Stern
and
Donald B. Rubin",
title = "Bayesean Data Analysis",
publisher = "Chapman and Hall/CRC",
year = "1995",
isbn = "0-412-03991-5",
edition = "first"
}
but bibtool sorts gelman:etal to be first.
