sorting the order of citations in the brackets manually
I have a question: I am using the Organization Studies Citation Style (which is close to APA 6). Usually the citation style organizes the citations in the brackets in alphabetical order. This is not an issue for me in general, but sometimes I would like to define the order differently. For instance when I cite several works of different authors, sometimes I cite a main source and then add other less relevant sources, usually with the prefix 'see also:' or I quote the source where a specific citation is originated from and then add the primary sources which this quote is basing itself on. It is a bit confusing if a bracket starts with 'see also:' and only afterwords refers to the author from whom the quote is originating.
Is there anyway to achieve that with the Organization Studies citation style or would I have to manipulate that in some way manually?
Thanks for your support!

I see lots of `name-sort-as` in a bunch of macros and also a `sort` statement in the `citation` template but APA is so complex I don't dare to tinker with this.
The sort statement in citation determines the sort order in the citation and it's not actually that complicated. The two date macros first determine that n.d. gets sorted before dates, and that before status (forthcoming, in press, etc.) and the second one just sorts by date. Then status gets sorted alphabetically, then title.
