I'm writing my thesis in Overleaf. and I'm now trying to generate a content of figures using the command "\listoffigures", and now the content of figures is generated, but all citations become dosordered. :(

\listoffigures
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Figures}
\clearpage

And when I delete the command "\listoffigures", they become again in the correct order (start from [1],[2],[3],[4]...).

I also tried the command "\bibliographystyle{unsrt}" but it's not helping.

\bibliographystyle{unsrt}
\renewcommand\bibname{Reference}
\bibliography{Reference}

The citations in the doc "Reference.bib" are generated by citaiv and copied to Overleaf. They are not in the order how I cited them, but I think it shouldn't be a problem. Doest anybody know why???

  • It's probably the issue discussed in https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/36304/35864 and https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/61869/35864. (That is to say, you probably cited in the caption and if the \listoffigures is printed then those entries are cited "too early" in the document.) – moewe May 30 '21 at 14:01

Ok I found the solution. Just need to add a package \usepackage{notoccite} and now everything works:)

  • The notoccite manual says "that it may well fail when used with various packages for citations or cross refernces." Much safer to do the recommended thing of using the optional \caption argument omitting the citation. as per the nottoccite manual and the SE references by @moewe. – Peter Wilson May 30 '21 at 16:31
