One solution could be to export these references to a xcel or something
like that.
Next, sort bu date and author in excel. For this order, create a new
field (say) sortid. Save the sorted results.
Next import back in ref man, with the new sorted field.
I haven't tried this, but may potentially work...
We have the same problem, that we are trying to address.
Good luck!

Subject: <RefMan> author/date sort problem
Hi
Can anyone help with this problem - Refman tech support have said not,
and that there is no known workaround, but maybe someone out there knows
different.
I am just finalising my PhD thesis, and when I generate the bibliography
I have two problems (using a Harvard-style style).
First, within the text citations, when I am citing more than one work by
the same author, it is putting the authors in alphabetical order but not
in date order - the date order is random.
In the generated bibliography I have the same problem - the authors are
in order, but the dates are random. I am drawing on a number of
databases for the bibliography (about ten). The software is recognising
that several references are by the same author, but not getting the
dates within that sorted.
I am using my own style, based on the American Psychological
Association, but I have now tried to generate this bibliography with a
number of different output styles that come with Refman, and I always
have the same problem. Any help would be much appreciated as I am
otherwise facing very substantial amendments by hand - and indeed I
cannot even work out a way to resolve the in-text citation problem
manually, since you can't change the order (it re-sets when you print).
Many thanks Debbie
