I cited a datasheet in a caption of one of the figures of my report. I have added a list of figures in my document, and Latex has numbered the citations in order of appearance. Now in my first chapter (Introduction) the first citation in this appears marked as [2], which I want to be [1].

So I removed the citation from the caption, but the change is not reflected in the numbering, and its still numbered one.

How can I change this? The rest of the document is fine, because no other caption has any citation

  • It's going to be really hard to help you without you showing us some code. – Teepeemm May 15 '21 at 18:47
  • @Teepeemm I see. But what code should I add here? I have a .bib file, and I removed the citation, but it still shows up. Which part of the code would help answer this? – SM32 May 15 '21 at 19:14
  • Did you run bibtex or biber again after you modified the caption? Note that an alternative solution would have been to use the optional argument for caption: \caption[this caption appears in the list of figures]{this caption appears in the main text}. But also then you need to rerun the bibliography generation. – Marijn May 15 '21 at 19:26
  • @Marijn I had not done that. Thanks a lot, it worked. – SM32 May 16 '21 at 04:39
  • Good that it worked. I will vote to close as a duplicate of a more generic "how to create a bibliography" question, that might help future visitors that find the current question. – Marijn May 16 '21 at 10:30
