The two main native bibtyles are "plain" and "unsrt", the first one
sorts alphabetically, the second leaves the order in the database.

To sort alphabetically, the way authors' names are typed in
is important
 - Someone, A. and Otherone, B. and Lastone, C. D.
 gives bibTeX explicit indication upon separation between lastname and 
 initials (or first names) using commas;
 - Allan Someone and Bill Otherone and Christian D. Lastone
 assumes that the lastname is the last and manages with second initial,
 composed names (Charles de Gaulle, Eric von Stroheim) and modifiers (Jr)

Check that your database format complies to either syntax (which can be mixed
of course).

Another way, if you find bibTeX not enough complete about sorting, is to
use unsorted style on a sorted bas by other means (here Nelson Beebe's bibsort
does it).
