I used the tar.gz version with success here on Solaris, just to check with the
last version as I had 0.11 installed for years (I had to ./configure twice).

Yes, this is an external workaround (as compared to bst hacking),
but it works with any existing unsorted bst file. The bst mentioned previously
on the thread does not deal with references inside the same year (what bibsort
-byyear would do).
I guess you should insert \nocite{*} at the beginning of the document
to force the loading of the whole bib file (and thus you must extract
only the required entries in a specific bibfile beforehand, but this is easy
with bib
management GUIs (anyway it's always a god idea to split bibfiles and cat at
will or
give multiple file names - up to 20 AFAIR).
