Ordering of footnote
Problem
Currently the footnotes are numbered by their first reference in text, instead of the actual order of the footnote in the end.
For example
aha[^note], that is right[^another_note]
[^another_note]: right
[^note]: aha
Will be rendered to something like
aha^1, that is right^2
2 right
1 aha
Notice the footnote numbered as 2 is placed first. This is both unnatural and non-customary.
The customary style which is used by most journals is to number the footnotes in the order they are presented at the end.
aha[^note], that is right[^another_note]
[^another_note]: right
[^note]: aha
shall produce
aha^2, that is right^1
1 right
2: aha
Proposed Solution
Number the footnotes by their orders at the end, as most journals do.
