@NoCite Problem

[Dominikus Herzberg]

Dear Lout-ers,

I think there is a minor bug in the definition of @NoCite (Lout 3.12), see
the problem described. I am sorry that I do not have the time to debug the
problem myself.

If you take the example below the list of references is as expected and
looks like this (in a simplified representation):

                Balzert (1996a)
                Balzert (1996b)
                Balzert (1998)

But if I change @Cite to @NoCite in the example the result is an "unordered"
list; it looks like this:

                Balzert (1996b)
                Balzert (1998)
                Balzert (1996a)

Maybe you are a little bit surprised why I use @NoCite in my Lout files. The
reason is that I helped myself out with a workaround for a problem I posted
in "References" (Mon, 6 Apr 1998).

Best regards
&
Gruss

Dominikus
