i am sorry. i realized what the problem is. the 'unsrt' style works for me too. its just that i have referenced two papers in the text that describes one of the figures in my document. Since the text that describes appears in the "list of figures" the references appear there too. Thus, these refrences appear in the bibliography before the first reference in Chapter 1 appears in the biblography.
Is there a way to make only the refrences that appear from the first chapter onwards to be taken into account while the bibliography order is decided by Lyx. varun
