Indeed. You could try if there is a "swedish ..." style that solves
this for you, or you can help bibtex, e.g. with the suggestion from
btxdoc.pdf:
in the database (*.bib) file:
@PREAMBLE{ "\newcommand{\noopsort}[1]{} "
# "\newcommand{\singleletter}[1]{#1} " }
author = {{\noopsort{Harald Sch~tt}}Harald Sch{\"o}tt}
. . .
author = {Henrik Sch{\"u}ck}
LaTeX will then ignore the \noopsort, but BibTeX will use it for
sorting.
