With biblatex it's possible to fill a special field used for sorting names; with the standard BibTeX tools one can use
author={{\noop{ivanov}}\CYRI\cyrv\cyra\cyrn\cyro\cyrv, \CYRI\cyrv\cyra\cyrn},
having put in the document's preamble the definition
\newcommand{\noop}[1]{}
Of course it's possible to write anything one wants as the argument to \noop, for example a common prefix such as \noop{zzz-ivanov} would sort all Russian authors at the end.
May be the style cj.bst do the job (only for bibtex). You can download the cj.bst from the link provided and put it in the same folder as your .tex file. An example file follows:

\maketitle
\section{Introduction}
According to the handbook of van Leunen \cite{vanleunen},
this paragraph---and certainly this
section---should be longer than one sentence.
\section{More references}
Here we see if the reference \cite{Narendra_1990}
to the Narendra article comes out OK, in particular,
with volume, number \& pages.
The necessary information for those who would use BibTeX
is available in the 1988 document of Prof.\ Patashnik \cite{btxdoc}.
Interested readers who can read French may also
want to read Poussin's proof\cite{primes}, though
it has nothing at all to do with BibTeX.
\section{Conclusion}
This is the concluding paragraph. Here I cite another of
Oren Patashnik's books\cite{btxhak} and, again,
van Leunen's and Poussin's \cite{vanleunen,primes}.

Best Answer
I also struggled with
unsrtand the sorting of the first and last names in the bibliography.I use
Texmaker 4.3, MiKTeX 2.9, and there is an easy fix for it:unsrt.bstfile from the MiKTeX directory from the folder "MiKTeX 2.9\bibtex\bst\base" into the folder of your.texdocument and rename it (e.g.unsrt2.bst)FUNCTION {format.names}{ s nameptr "{ff~}{vv~}{ll}{, jj}" format.name$ 't :=to{ s nameptr "{ll}{~ff}{~vv}{, jj}" format.name$ 't :=.texfile use the new style:\bibliographystyle{unsrt2}
