Detailed explanation-1: -Yes, an APA reference page is listed in alphabetical order by the author’s last name. When you have authors with the same last name, you alphabetize them by the first or middle initial. When you have multiple sources with the same author, use the publication year.
Detailed explanation-2: -Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last name of the first author of each work. For multiple articles by the same author, or authors listed in the same order, list the entries in chronological order, from earliest to most recent.
Detailed explanation-3: -Arrange entries in alphabetical order by the surname of the first author followed by the initials of the author’s given name(s). When alphabetizing names, disregard any spaces or punctuation marks in two-word surnames.
