I think I replied on this before, too. Depending on the output style
you use and the way "editors" are identified in the bibliographic
format, you can "fool" RM and put your editors in the primary author
field [04]. We get round this by entering the appropriate
Vancouver-based literal into the author field following the names of the
editor(s) (=editor OR =editors).
E.g., Altman DG, Machin D, Bryant TN, Gardner MJ, editors. Statistics
with confidence: confidence intervals and statistical guidelines. 2nd
ed. London: BMJ Books; 2000.
Last JM, editor. A dictionary of epidemiology. 3rd ed. New York: Oxford
University Press; 1995.
This is how we do it. However, it would not work using styles like MLA
where you PRECEDE the name(s) of the editors.

Subject: Re: <RefMan> Bibliography sorting
This topic has been on the list before - the only solution which I have
seen that would work without causing more problems is to create a new
reference type for edited books (modify one of the types which you are
never likely to want), and then use this type for all edited books,
inserting the editors as authors. The work-around which I compromised on
was to ignore the problem until the final draft, then remove the links
to RM, and re-sort the bibliography. I couldn't face going through all
the books on my database and revising the document type!
It is caused by RM sorting on "authors 1" rather than "any authors".
Hope you find a suitable solution
