CTAN has a new package: orderrefs
by Jim Hefferon 04 Jun '04

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should make its way to your favorite mirror soon. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor.

Orderrefs is a little program that automates this reordering. It is a portable perl script that should run on any computer with a working perl installation. - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/orderrefs although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors
