Biblatex - Change multicites style

Question

This is my bibliograpy setup:

\documentclass[
  12pt,
  italian,
  singlespacing,
  parskip,
  nohyperref,
  headsepline,
]{MastersDoctoralThesis}
[...]
\usepackage[backend=bibtex,style=ieee,natbib=true]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{bibliography.bib}
\begin{document}
  [...]
\printbibliography
\end{document}

When I cite multiple articles, I would like something like: [1-2] but with all the possibile solutions/commands that I tried I have always this result [1], [2]. I tried this commands:

\citep{}{}
\cites{}{}

I also try with this answer that suggest to use the package cite but at compile time I have this error:

"message": "Package biblatex: Incompatible package 'cite'.\n"

MastersDoctoralThesis as available at this link.

Sorry - just seen you're using natbib that i am not familiar with. Any luck with a variant of https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/485837/118739 ? — AndiW, Aug 21 '21 at 15:46

Fully compressed citations only work if you give the keys in the same pair of curly braces. That means that \autocite{<key_1>,<key_2>,...,<key_n>} give the desired output, but \autocites{<key_1>}{<key_2>}{<key_n>} may not. This is due to the way these commands and compressed citations are implemented.

\documentclass[british]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[backend=bibtex,style=ieee,natbib=true]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}
Lorem \autocite{sigfridsson,worman,geer}
Lorem \autocites{sigfridsson}{worman}{geer}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

Loading natbib or in fact any other citation package will not help.

I try also with the keys in the same pair of curly braces but it does't work. For example, If I use \autocites{sigfridsson}{worman} in output I have [1]worman – th3g3ntl3man Aug 23 '21 at 10:02

@th3g3ntl3man That shouldn't be happening. Is that output you can reproduce with the example document I posted or only with your larger document? I tried my code with MDT and the main points still hold: \autocites (with s) cannot sort or compress across different sets of curly braces. \autocite will sort and compress as long as you are within the same set of curly braces. – moewe Aug 23 '21 at 15:56
