Conversation
Add ACM SIG variant: appearance order, no bib nums This variant addresses issues in Word typesetting: 1. Fixes alphabetical sorting in existing ACM SIG styles, ensuring the bibliography follows the order of appearance to keep numeric callouts in sequence. 2. Removes bibliography numbers to prevent redundant numbering in Word, reducing manual cleanup.

I assume this was generated with AI. This part doesn't make sense to me: What is this style for? Which journal? |

Description
This PR adds a functional variant of the ACM SIG Proceedings style specifically optimized for researchers using word processors (like Microsoft Word) for academic typesetting[cite: 1].
Source and Derivation:
This style is derived from the official
acm-sig-proceedingsstyle[cite: 1]. It maintains the core metadata while modifying the bibliography logic to solve specific formatting pain points in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and technology-related publications[cite: 1].Key Changes and Rationale:
<sort>block from the bibliography to ensure references are listed by the order of appearance[cite: 1]. This fixes the issue in the parent style where alphabetical sorting leads to out-of-sequence numeric callouts (e.g., [10] appearing before [2])[cite: 1].citation-numbervariable from the bibliography layout[cite: 1]. This prevents redundant numbering and avoids the need for manual "unlinking" or deletion of fields in Word, which is often required to meet specific venue formatting guidelines[cite: 1].hanging-indent="true"to provide a clean, professional visual alignment for the reference list in the absence of numbered labels[cite: 1].Checklist
