Hi everyone

A quick question about referencing

Out of pure pressure (long story) i forgot to arrange my references in aphabetical order..while they are all there...they are not ordered in fact..about half are alphabetical.while the others seem really scattered (It was a large list , 83 ref for 3500 words)

Do you think id lose a lot of marks for this? so disappointed in myself for not doing it right
