\biboptions{sort&compress}

If you want to add extra options of natbib.sty, you may use the options as comma delimited strings
as arguments to \biboptionscommand.
[...]

sort&compress sorts and compresses the numbered citations. For example, citation [1,2,3] will
become [1–3]
You might therefor achieve the desied result, by including the following line in your
