Using the above "trick" sorted it. :-)
As a note though: I use the Apalike bib style and the above method does
not work directly on this although it works fine for Plain style.
I needed to add the non printing {\noopsort{a}} to the Author field just
before the surname of the 3rd Author so that the alphabetical sort was
tricked at this stage rather than later at the date stage.
Hope that makes sense!!
