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.
