Rather with presort. Items are sorted by "name year title" whereas, for
the construction of the extra label, they should be sorted by "label
name year title". So they must actually be sorted twice. (I've just
looked at chicago and natbib, and they both do.)

So, this could be a solution, stolen from plainnat.bst:

-------------------------------------------
FUNCTION {presort}
{ calc.label
   calc.dummy.label
   dummy.label sortify " " *
   sortkey empty$
.
.
.
   #1 entry.max$ substring$
   'sort.label := % save for later
   sort.label *
   #1 entry.max$ substring$
   'sort.key$ :=  % includes dummy.label
}
-------------------------------------------

and then, after REVERSE{reverse.pass}:

-------------------------------------------
FUNCTION {bib.sort.order}
{ sort.label  'sort.key$ :=
}

ITERATE {bib.sort.order}

SORT
-------------------------------------------


Same with jureco.bst.


BTW, I wonder why dummy.label contains LaTeX markup? I'ld say it
shouldn't. (Sorry, no more time for that, today.)


Regards,
Robert.
