Description
Both numeric, and Author-date forms can get out of sequence in a word document (and possibly OO). Subsequent references to the same item tends to change the order.
So something like text(1), more text(2), more text(3), more more text(4),
and then adding
another reference to the first one(1)
seems to randomly switch the order around. It might look like then look like
So something like text(4), more text(2), more text(3), more more text(1), something else(4)
It seems random - sometimes it comes out ok.

This has a rather unfortunate effect on the resulting paper, and you don't usually discover it until you've added many references leading to midnight panics!

I've been trying out a few examples - its hard to reproduce easily. The most reliable way I've found is to
Type some text, insert a number of different references.
Then go back to the start of the document and add some more references, including some duplicates.
I managed this with a
start text(1) text(2)
and then going back to before start text, and inserting a new 5th reference, and then adding another reference to the original item(1).
I ended up with this
Now insert text here1. And now another duplicate 3
And add text here and reference original first item2.3
First Text4 Second Text2.
It takes a bit of playing around to duplicate it, but once its there no amount of refreshing will change it. Sometimes switching styles to something else, and then back will fix it, sometimes it won't.
Author-date type also show the same thing if you have the 2002a, 20002b type disambiguation.
