Hi,

There also exists a more permanent solution.

Put @PREAMBLE{ {\providecommand{\noopsort}[1]{}} } at the beginning at
your *.bib file.

For the entries that are affected you then include them in your *.bib
file as:

@ARTICLE{Palfrey84,
  author =       {{\noopsort{Thomas}}{Palfrey, Thomas R.}},
  title =        {Spatial Equilibrium with Entry},
  journal =      {Review of Economic Studies},
  year =         {1984},
  volume =       {51},
  pages =        {139-156},}

if for some reason you wanted the bibliography listed by first names.
Note that whereas normally you would put {Thomas R. Palfrey} in you
*.bib file you need to put the last name first if you want it to appear
that way.

Best,
Indridi
