BibTeX style for sorting in reverse chronological order
When preparing a list of my publications, I had the wish to sort the publications in reverse chronological order. While this seems like quite a common task to me, I couldn't find any BibTeX style that will do this trick. There is however the plainyr.bst style which is similar to the standard plain.bst BibTeX style, but sorts the entries in ascending chronological order.
Based on this style I created plainyr-rev.bst which uses plain formatting, i.e., the references are simply numbered, and sorts the references with the most recent references first.
You can download this style from my latex-goodies git repository at github.com. If you are not a git user yet, you can get a tarball of the files by using the download button.
I hope you find this style useful.
