Natbib + BibTeX: How can you show the bibliography in order of appearance AND numbered?

Question

I'm trying to numerate the references list but having them ordered in order of appearance. I can't find how to do that anywhere.

The code is, more or less, like this

\usepackage[round, sort, numbers, authoryear]{natbib}
(...)
\bibliographystyle{unsrtnat}
\bibliography{referencias}
\end{document}

The document resulting of that code is close to what I wanted, but the references lists still not numbered. Here are some screenshots.

enter image description here

The thing is, I can set the references to use numbers or Harvard referencing style, but not both.

Is there any way to do this using natbib?

Hope you can understand what am I trying to do here and give me a piece of advice.

Thx a lot!

MWE

.tex

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[round, sort, numbers, authoryear]{natbib}

\begin{document}
\section{First section}

First I'm going to cite \citep{DBLP:journals/chb/Junco12}. I also want you to read \citet{Kirschner20101237} and \citep*{Ross2009578}. Don't forget to tell me what do you think about them.

\bibliographystyle{unsrtnat}
\bibliography{mwe-ref}
\end{document}

.bib

@article{DBLP:journals/chb/Junco12,
  author    = {Reynol Junco},
  title     = {Too much face and not enough books: The relationship between
               multiple indices of Facebook use and academic performance},
  journal   = {Computers in Human Behavior},
  volume    = {28},
  number    = {1},
  year      = {2012},
  pages     = {187-198},
  ee        = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.chb.2011.08.026},
  bibsource = {DBLP, http://dblp.uni-trier.de}
}

@article{Ross2009578,
title = "Personality and motivations associated with Facebook use",

author = "Craig Ross and Emily S. Orr and Mia Sisic and Jaime M. Arseneault and Mary G. Simmering and R. Robert Orr"}

@article{Kirschner20101237,

journal = "Computers in Human Behavior",
volume = "26",
number = "6",
pages = "1237 - 1245",

Could you comment more on this? I have the same problem and cannot find a solution. So far, my solution has been:

Set natbib options to "numbers" and generate the BBL

Open the .bbl file and save as a .tex file (with some other name, e.g. fileBib.tex)

Use \input{fileBib} at the end of the source file instead of calling the .bib database

Re-compiling changing the natbib options to "authoryear". There MUST be an easier way... — , Oct 31 '13 at 23:30

I would drop authoryear from \usepackage[round, sort, numbers, authoryear]{natbib}

Thanks for ur reply, but it didn't make the difference. It just replaced the citations in the text with numbers, and numbered the references list. I want to keep the citations as Harvard style (Jones et al., etc) – vkmc Jul 19 '12 at 13:04
works! deleting all temporary files and adding \usepackage{hyperref} - thanks again! – vkmc Jul 19 '12 at 23:48
Great! I am happy to hear – Alexander Serebrenik Jul 20 '12 at 03:44

I honestly don't see how this can work to produce the output requested. – Alan Munn Oct 29 '13 at 19:38
this does not solve the problem indeed. – enthu Dec 08 '19 at 10:58

Change \bibliographystyle to ieeer and just keep the option numbers when adding Natbib package.

nope: "I couldn't open style file ieeer.bst" – JHBonarius Mar 18 '18 at 13:01
Sorry for not making it clear. My point is to set your style to IEEER. Thus, the preamble should be \usepackage[numbers]{natbib} followed by \bibliographystyle{ieeer} – Cuong Mar 21 '18 at 02:50

Still doesn't work – rhody Dec 17 '19 at 17:07
It is ieeetr istead of ieeer – Marcelo Machado Mar 31 '21 at 05:12

You can try to use it.

\usepackage[numbers]{natbib}
\bibliographystyle{ieeetr}
\bibliography{ref}

For me with the NeurIPS template, which by default loads natbib

\bibliographystyle{unsrtnat}
\setcitestyle{square,numbers,comma}

works for me
