OK, I guess I was unclear because I often use \nocite{*}
to cite the whole database, in which case unsrt prints it in the
order of the bib file.
So to make use of an advanced external sorting tool, I don't see
any other solution than issuing a \nocite{*}
just after the \begin{document} and restricting the database to
the set of desired records.
Issuing an explicit \nocite{key1,key2,...} with unsrt is OK, but it
removes in fact the need for external sorting.
plain sorts by {author|editor|organization},year,title in all cases.
Does this sound OK ?
