A first off-the-top-of-my-head reply is that if natbib cannot order your
cites (say because one of them doesn't have a year or an author---typos?),
then it falls back on ordinary sequential numbering.

If that doesn't help then we need a _minimal_ example.

Oh, just one thought: and if you use LaTeX instead of pdfLaTeX?
