In 2014 I wrote a CV that used the following template for citations.
The idea was to download a publication list from google scholar, "google.bib" and then reverse sort by year and category. Then when I needed to apply for a job again, the only step would be to download my google.bib. However, the old template does not seem to work properly. I can see that the reverse year is still working, but the counters seem not to work. Has LateX changed, or have I missed something? I tried other bibtex files with the same effect.

Can anyone see where to fix the numbering issue? I believe that the origin of this idea was the post:
biblatexversion. The code works in the MWE when run with the most recentbiblatex3.13(a). If possible update your system. – moewe Sep 08 '19 at 16:03biblatexversion. Note that TeX live/MacTeX is released yearly and does not let you upgrade easily between versions, usually you just install the new one, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/107017/35864, https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/55437/35864. Overleaf also run an outdated version ofbiblatex, so my code is too new for it, but the code you posted in the question should actually run there. – moewe Sep 08 '19 at 16:27
