[texhax] Bibliographystyle which sorts by year

[Victor Ivrii]

I have a strange problem: the same author's name appears in different
variants in different papers: say J. Doe, Joe Doe, J. W. Doe, Joe W.
Doe (etc). Then bibliographystyle alpha would list J. Doe first
(sorting by year), then J. W. Doe, etc.

* Is there any way to tell LaTeX that this is the same author (without
replacing all these names by one)?

* Is there a bibliographystile which sorts by year, author rather than
by author, year as alpha doe?


Thank you in advance
