Numbering publications

[btskinner]

Question

Someone emailed to ask whether it was possible to number publications. Here's a solution that I think will work.

Changes in cv.tex to number bibliography entries (but still APA style and reverse chronological order)

First, change the options in \usepackage{biblatex} from:

\usepackage[style=apa,
backend=biber,
sortcites=true,
sorting=ydmdnt,
language=american]{biblatex} 

to

\usepackage[style=apa,
citestyle=numeric,    % <-- add this option so numbers are used
defernumbers=true,    % <-- add this option so numbers reset with each section
backend=biber,
sortcites=true,
sorting=ydmdnt,
language=american]{biblatex}

Second, change the \defbibenvironment{mybib} from:

% no letter for same year entries
\defbibenvironment{mybib}
{\list
  {}
  {\setlength{\leftmargin}{\bibhang}%
    \setlength{\itemindent}{-\leftmargin}%
    \setlength{\itemsep}{\bibitemsep}%
    \setlength{\parsep}{\bibparsep}}}
{\endlist}
{\clearfield{extradate}\item}

to

% no letter for same year entries
\DeclareFieldFormat{labelnumberwidth}{\mkbibbrackets{#1}}
\defbibenvironment{mybib}
  {\list
     {\printtext[labelnumberwidth]{%
      \printfield{labelprefix}%
      \printfield{labelnumber}}}
     {\setlength{\labelwidth}{\labelnumberwidth}%
      \setlength{\leftmargin}{\labelwidth}%
      \setlength{\labelsep}{\biblabelsep}%
      \addtolength{\leftmargin}{\labelsep}%
      \setlength{\itemsep}{\bibitemsep}%
      \setlength{\parsep}{\bibparsep}}%
      \renewcommand*{\makelabel}[1]{\hss##1}}
  {\endlist}
  {\clearfield{extradate}\item}
