CTAN update: iran-bibtex
Here is an extensive update for the iran-bibtex package. The iran-bibtex package has expanded its capabilities beyond Persian/Farsi documents created by the xepersian package. Now, you can utilize this package seamlessly in English/Latin documents by selecting options starting with “iranlatin”. In this update, five distinct sets of options have been introduced to the package: 1. iran, and iranlatin (Author-date format, alphabetically sorted); 2. iran-plain, and iranlatin-plain (Numbered format, alphabetically sorted); 3. iran-year, and iranlatin-year (Author-date format, chronologically sorted by year); 4. iran-plainyr, and iranlatin-plainyr (Numbered format, chronologically sorted by years); and 5. iran-unsrt, and iranlatin-unsrt (Numbered format, citation ordered). These options cater to a variety of citation styles, allowing for more flexibility and customization in your bibliographic references.

iran-bibtex – Iran Manual of Style Citation Guide for BibTeX
The iran-bibtex package, designed for LaTeX, provides BibTeX styles in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the Iran Manual of Style (1st edn., 2016)—citation guide to Persian, and English information sources.
A collection of illustrative examples showcasing the usage of this package has been meticulously prepared and is accessible in the package’s GitHub repository under the ‘examples’ sub-directory.
To facilitate alphabetical sorting of references, prioritizing Persian/Farsi items ahead of English/Latin ones, a dedicated file named iran-bibtex-cp1256fa.csf is provided for use with this package. This file, derived from the ascii.csf file, serves the purpose of arranging references in the desired order.
It is important to note that this package relies on the natbib package, which is automatically loaded.
