Bibliography (.bbl) Sorting Tool     misc

Leo Petrov

Text utility for sorting LaTeX bibliography (.bbl) and amsrefs files. Paste bibliography entries into the input area, click Sort, and the tool reorders them alphabetically by author surname then chronologically. Supports standard bibitem and amsrefs bib formats with accent normalization.

This tool sorts bibliography entries alphabetically by author names, and—for identical author lists—chronologically from oldest to newest. It supports both standard LaTeX bibliography (.bbl) and amsrefs formats, handling complex author formats including initials, surname prefixes (de, von, van), and multiple authors.
