I would like to sort my reference list by Author surname and then year of publication.
Here's the code I used.
\usepackage[%
backend=bibtex % biber or bibtex
,style=authoryear % Alphabeticalsch
%,style=numeric-comp % numerical-compressed
,sorting=none % no sorting
,sortcites=true % some other example options ...
,bibencoding=ascii
,block=none
,indexing=false
,citereset=none
,isbn=true
,url=true
,doi=true % prints doi
,natbib=true % if you need natbib functions
]{biblatex}
