How to make references appear from number [1] in the paper

Question

I am currently using

\bibliographystyle{abbrv}
\bibliography{reference}

in the main script for referencing the references and also adding references in another .bib file as follows:

@inproceedings{kriukova2018using,
  title={Using explicit semantic analysis and Word2Vec in measuring semantic relatedness of Russian paraphrases},
  author={Kriukova, Anna and Mitrofanova, Olga and Sukharev, Kirill and Roschina, Natalia},
  booktitle={International Conference on Digital Transformation and Global Society},
  pages={350--360},
  year={2018},
  organization={Springer}
}

but the first citation in the paper does not start from number 1. How can I make it start from number [1]?

This is my whole main part:

    \documentclass[journal]{IEEEtran}
%\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,tabularx}
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{balance}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{color}
%\usepackage[pdftex]{hyperref}
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts}
\usepackage{algorithmic}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{adjustbox,lipsum}
\usepackage{notoccite}
%\usepackage[numbers, sort&compress]{natbib}

% *** CITATION PACKAGES ***

%\usepackage{cite}
% cite.sty was written by Donald Arseneau
% V1.6 and later of IEEEtran pre-defines the format of the cite.sty package
% \cite{} output to follow that of the IEEE. Loading the cite package will
% result in citation numbers being automatically sorted and properly
% "compressed/ranged". e.g., [1], [9], [2], [7], [5], [6] without using
% cite.sty will become [1], [2], [5]--[7], [9] using cite.sty. cite.sty's
% \cite will automatically add leading space, if needed. Use cite.sty's
% noadjust option (cite.sty V3.8 and later) if you want to turn this off
% such as if a citation ever needs to be enclosed in parenthesis.
% cite.sty is already installed on most LaTeX systems. Be sure and use
% version 5.0 (2009-03-20) and later if using hyperref.sty.
% The latest version can be obtained at:
% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/cite
% The documentation is contained in the cite.sty file itself.

Answer 1

There are many bibliography styles out there which (a) generate numeric-style citation call-outs and (b) do not sort the bibliographic entries alphabetically by authors' surnames. Four of them are:

• unsrt -- One of the original BibTeX style files, dating back to the early 1980s. To ease some citation-related burdens, it's a good idea to load the cite package when using the unsrt bibliography style.

• unsrtnat -- A reimplementation of unsrt distributed with the natbib citation management package. Useful if your bib entries contain fields such as url, doi, or isbn. Be sure to load natbib with the option numbers.

• ieeetr -- Every bit as ancient as plain, abbrv, and unsrt. Be sure to load the cite citation management package.

• IEEEtran. Provided by the IEEE publishing organizations. Basically, IEEEtran is to ieeetr what unsrtnat is to unsrt. Be sure to load natbib with the option numbers.

Answer 2

I have used in the past biblatex in a way like:

\RequirePackage[backend=biber,bibstyle=trad-plain,citestyle=numeric,sorting=none,backref=false]{biblatex}

\DeclareFieldFormat{labelnumberwidth}{[#1]}

\defbibenvironment{bibliography}
  {\list 
    {\printfield[labelnumberwidth]{labelnumber}} 
  {\setlength{\labelwidth}{\labelnumberwidth}% 
   \setlength{\leftmargin}{0pt}% 
   \setlength{\labelsep}{0.5\biblabelsep}% 
   \setlength{\itemsep}{3mm}%\bibitemsep}% 
   \setlength{\itemindent}{\labelwidth}% 
   \addtolength{\itemindent}{\labelsep}% 
   \setlength{\parsep}{\bibparsep}% 
   %\setlength{\listparindent}{-\labelwidth}
   }%
   \renewcommand*{\makelabel}[1]{##1}} 
{\endlist} 
{\item}
\bibliography{references} 

This code is not mine but I found and edited some time in the past, so please if someone find the real source (it was on tex.stackexchange.com) please inform me to add the source.
