The order in which items appear in a Bibliography created with Word's referencing tools is determined by the code that populates the Bibliography field; you cannot change that. If you're not using Word's referencing tools to create your Bibliography, or if you convert a Word Bibliography to static text, you could convert your listing to a table, then sort the table. For example, with the data you posted and assuming it's static text, one would start out with a series of Find/Replace expressions:
Find = ,(
Replace = ,^t(
Find = , (
Replace = ,^t(


Find = , "
Replace = ,^t^34
Then convert the bibliography to a 3-column table. Sort table by column 1 & column 3. Convert the table to text, with a space for 'other'. Done.

Thanks, I will try to figure this out tomorrow, because it's too late now to change it.
