Latex: In Springer class svjour3, want references sorted in alphabetical order, in author-year format

I am writing a paper in LAtex and using Springer macro package (svjour3 class). Requirement is: citations should be in the form of authoryear and sorted in alphabetical order.

My tex file looks like:

{ 

\documentclass[smallextended]{svjour3}
\usepackage{natbib}

\begin{document}

\title{abc}


\bibliographystyle{spbasic}      % basic style, author-year citations
%\bibliographystyle{spmpsci}      % mathematics and physical sciences
%\bibliographystyle{apa}   
%bibliographystyle{spphys}       % APS-like style for physics
%\bibliographystyle{plainnat}

\bibliography{review}   % name your BibTeX data base


\end{document}
}
  1. I have used all the possible options of bibliographystyle.
  2. Also I have used various types of options in \usepackage[options]{natbib}
  3. Tried deleting all the temporary files aux, logs and all others.
  4. All entries in bib file have author and year and are separated by commas.

Still I am getting following errors:

{
Package natbib Error: Bibliography not compatible with author-year citations. ...mmand\NAT@force@numbers{}\NAT@force@numbers
}

You have to add:

\usepackage[numbers,sort&compress]{natbib}

and then add bibliography as:

\bibliographystyle{spbasic}
\bibliography{sample.bib}

That almost did it for me. I changed it to

    \usepackage[sort&compress]{natbib}

in the preamble. Cited with

    \citep{ReferenceXY}

and added my bib

    \bibliographystyle{spbasic} 
    \bibliography{literature.bib}
