Question mark in citation using Bibtex

bibtexlatex

Today I opened my Latex document and suddenly all citations turned to [?]. What surprised me is that everything was just perfect but suddenly today I found this issue. Has anyone faced such an issue before? If so, would you mind providing me how you solved it?

I use Texpad in Mas OSX.

Thank you

How to order citations by appearance using BibTeX

There are three good answers to this question.

Use the unsrt bibliography style, if you're happy with its formatting otherwise
Use the makebst (link) tool to design your own bibliography style

And my personal recommendation:

Use the biblatex package (link). It's the most complete and flexible bibliography tool in the LaTeX world.

Using biblatex, you'd write something like

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[sorting=none]{biblatex}
\bibliography{journals,phd-references} % Where journals.bib and phd-references.bib are BibTeX databases
\begin{document}
\cite{robertson2007}
\cite{earnshaw1842}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
