I am working on a presentation using beamer. I have a bl.bib file that has several entries in it. I'm also using the cite package but when I try to cite several references together, i.e., \cite{ref1, ref2,ref3}, the result looks like [1,2,3] and not 1-[3]. Does anybody know how to make it look like 1-[3]? Is this by purpose because it is not common to cite like this in presentations?

Minimal working example: Tex file:

\documentclass{beamer}

\bibliographystyle{ieeetr}
\usepackage{cite}
%Information to be included in the title page:
\title{Sample title}
\author{Anonymous}
\institute{Overleaf}
\date{2021}


\begin{document}


\frame{\titlepage}


\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Sample frame title}
Test \cite{a,b,c}
\end{frame}


\begin{frame}[allowframebreaks]{References}
    \bibliography{bibliography}
\end{frame}


\end{document}

bibliography.bib file:

@article{a,
  title     = {a},
  author    = {a},
  journal   = {I},
  volume    = {7},
  pages     = {6},
  year      = {6},
  publisher = {IEEE}
}

@inproceedings{b,
  title     = {b},
  author    = {c},
  booktitle = {d},
  pages     = {123},
  year      = {2018}
}


@article{c,
  author  = {c},
  journal = {d},
  title   = {e},
  year    = {2004},
  volume  = {50},
  number  = {11},
  pages   = {1234}
}

result:

Solved by using \usepackage[numbers,sort&compress]{natbib} instead of the cite package.
