Put LaTeX citations in correct order

In a research paper, if references are not ordered by the order they are referred in the main text, the paper is (by a subset of people) considered not well written. I found ordering references to be painful for large papers. Thus I wrote a tool to do it automatically.

Usage:

or.py yourpaper.tex

A file named "ref_ordered.txt" is generated with ordered reference. The ordered reference list is in this file.

Code: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/49916494/or.py
