#92 biber 0.9 -- sorting=none in BibLaTeX package options

[Christoph Spiegel]

Hi all,

I'm trying to turn a custom sorted .bib database file into a PDF
document.

This is my minimal .tex example:

%---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\documentclass{scrartcl}

\usepackage{scrpage2}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}

\RequirePackage[ngerman=ngerman-x-latest]{hyphsubst}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[autostyle=true]{csquotes}

\usepackage
bibencoding=inputenc,
citestyle=numeric,
sorting=none,
backend=biber{biblatex}

\addbibresource[location=remote]{http://server/index.php?action=get}

\nocite{*}

\begin{document}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
%---------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the sorting=none I intend to just use the order of the .bib file
(it comes from an SQL script with a special order). With
backend=biber, this does not work out. The order of the records in the
resulting PDF has an arbitrary order (so it seems to me at least).

When I'm using backend=bibtex8, everything is fine -- despite the fact
that bibtex8 is unable to fetch a remote database (a feature that I
would like to use).

I have no clue what could be the problem here and why the result
differs depending on using either biber or biblatex8.

Could anybody help with that issue?

This should be fixed in the 0.9.5 beta development version. Please get this from here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex-biber/files/biblatex-biber/development/

Please update the ticket with your results. You will need to upgrade to biblatex 1.6 to use biber 0.9.4+

Thanks, Philip, that does the trick for me.
