If I have 2 references (Harvard) with identical authors and name, should they be in the order they are cited, or in alphabetical order of title?

e.g. is it:

In his work with leopards (Jones 2004b) he refers to his work with aardvarks (Jones 2004a)

Jones (2004a) Aardvark never hurt nobody
Jones (2004b) Leopards spotted in Tesco

OR

In his work with leopards (Jones 2004a) he refers to his work with aardvarks (Jones 2004b)

Jones (2004a) Leopards spotted in Tesco
Jones (2004b) Aardvark never hurt nobody

Hi Dundeedoll,

for citations where the same author has written more than one paper in the same year, the etiquette is to put 'a' after the first one and 'b' after the second one as in your second example above. In your bibliography you cite them in the order you used them in the text (2004a, 2004b, etc etc). Hope this answers your question!

Thanks, yes that answers it perfectly. Thanks. Unfortunately Endnotes does it the other way and I cannot find a way to force it :-( Am thinking the only solution is to see if I can alter the order of my text.

hmm.. well i dont use endnote. I like to get back to the old school and surround myself with papers, tossing them merrily around. yes, if you use the one that comes alphabetically first, first, you should be ok with endnote. weird that it doesnt accept that 2004a would come before 2004b...
