The solution I posted previously does something slightly different: it
keeps the referencing entries with the referenced entry and sorts on
the referenced entry.  I have been using it for a while, and it is
convenient because you don't have to do anything special in the bibtex
file.

By the way, what is the best way to post to this group?   I have had
some difficulty getting through, hence the google post.
