So, why not just list the in-text citations in the order you want them? This is what I do and I get what you describe you want. Of course, this is trivial for me since I have both the year and author name in the citation key. If your cite keys are different, you might want to consider creating a new bib file with that information in the cite key. Bibdesk makes doing that easy.
