This question's answer is addressed how to get rid of the ordering via sorting=none option of biblatex package.
How can I acquire the same result with bibtex without calling biblatex?
I'd just tried to add \nocite{*} just after \begin{document}, but it changed nothing.

\section{Introduction}
Highly complex systems are typically composed many components. A system configuration (mode) is a particular collective behavior exhibited from a specific subset of the system's components. Reconfiguration Desirability in case of complex systems is two-fold: reconfiguration firstly paves the way for realizing multimodal systems, thereby achieving multifunctionality through multimodality. Furthermore, the complex system's resilience against (fatal) faults is increased; because, reconfiguration facilitates the switching from the faulty configuration to another functional configuration.
There have been extensive investigations on the notion of reconfiguration in view of different complex systems such as power systems ( \cite{abdelaziz2010distribution,gomes2006new,mcdermott1999heuristic,sarfi1996distribution}), embedded systems (\cite{voros2009dynamic,van2016model}), hybrid systems (\cite{riverso2016plug,momayyezan2016integrated,wang2016highly}), and manufacturing systems (\cite{ohashi2001model,sanderson2016smart,farid2017measures}).
Some efforts have been also applied to engineer reconfigurable DESs. As an instance, \cite{zhang2015reconfigurable} recommended a coordinated approach to solve the problem. The aforesaid technique stressed mainly on communicational issues among subsystems. Furthermore, it assumes all subsystems equipped with coordinators, which handles the reconfigurations of the system. Moreover, the technique is not computationally scalable; since the dimensions of the considered non-sparse matrices are intractably increased in real complex systems.
\section{Preliminaries}
Supervisory Control Theory \cite{wonham2017supervisory} governs the control of DESs according to the Ramadge-Wonham model \cite{ramadge1987supervisory,wonham2015supervisory}. A DES is formally represented by a generator, say

Update 2: Deleting nocite{*} changes nothing.
Best Answer
It isn't clear what you mean by "unordered" bibtex has two orderings order in order of citation (most bibtext styles that so this are called unsorted so I guess this is what you want?) or order in alphabetical order (usually of author)
If I delete the spurious
.in the bib file entry for wonham2017supervisory then the entries are numbered in order of citation resulting in the references here being in increasing numeric order as expected.
