For a single citation, how to order the Authors NOT Alphabetically.

Post by Suze »

I currently have in my .bib file,
@article{Hagedorn,
author = "The ALICE Collaboration , Abelev B, Adam J",
title = "Energy dependence of the transverse momentum distributions of charged particles in pp collisions measured by ALICE",
year = "2013",
journal = "Eur. Phys. J. C",
volume = "73",
number = "2662",
url = "https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-013-2662-9"
}

Which outputs:

Adam J The ALICE Collaboration Abelev B. “Energy dependence of the854
transverse momentum distributions of charged particles in pp collisions855
measured by ALICE”. In: Eur. Phys. J. C 73.2662 (2013). URL: https :856
//doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-013-2662-9.

But I need it to be as follows and don't know how to get there:

The ALICE Collaboration,Adam J, Abelev B., et al. “Energy dependence of the854
transverse momentum distributions of charged particles in pp collisions855
measured by ALICE”. In: Eur. Phys. J. C 73.2662 (2013). URL: https :856
//doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-013-2662-9.

Basically, listing the authors out of alphabetical order, and adding the 'et al' at the end.
Thanks!
