I'm using bibtex and in the reference part it automatically orders entries alphabetically in the author. This is what I want, the problem is that one of the entries has a compound name Joachim von zur Gathen. And its taking the von to order it, when it should be Gathen. How can I change it?

  • That's the behavior of the standard BibTeX styles. Which one are you declaring with \bibliographystyle? – egreg May 17 '15 at 18:09

  • There are often better ways, but since you haven't provided much detail about your document(s), I can only suggest the old generic trick: in your .bib file, put @preamble{ "\providecommand{\noop}[1]{}" } and then use author = {\noop{Gathen}von zur Gathen, Joachim},. – jon May 17 '15 at 18:26
  • @jon That works, so I'm good with it. If you copy it in an answer I will accept it :). Thank you very much – MyUserIsThis May 17 '15 at 18:30
  • It's a duplicate question/answer, I think. See, e.g., http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/115300/8528 – jon May 17 '15 at 19:39
