If including multiple, numbered citations together, is it standard practice^ to order them correctlyaccording to number? For example, one might see
Several studies [1,3,5] show that quantity X is relevant to Y.
Or
Several studies [1][3][5] show that quantity X is relevant to Y.
It is also common to see
Several studies [5,1,3] show that quantity X is relevant to Y.
The last is easy to achieve if using a tool such as bibtex, with a bibliography ordered in some way other than order of mention in the text.
I personally findIs there any authoritative reference that such ordering is preferable in general? To clarify, since this question was marked off-topic, the lackissue is whether, in the absence of order jarringguidelines from a journal, butetc. there is any sufficiently-authorative concept of general style here. If the answer is "no" (which I am unsure if thisbelieve it is simply my personal taste), that is acceptable. If the answer is "yes," it can be defended with references to general academic style guides.
^as far as this can be determined across fields. I'm personally interested in mathematics, computer science, computational science, physics, and related fields.
