I thought of something that *might* help, but probably not...

Instead of writing the bibliographic entries in a separate part
or document, add them as *markers* in the text. That is, whenever
you need to cite a reference, insert a marker of some type
(perhaps Author) in that paragraph and add the text (without the
number) in that marker, i.e. "Authorname, Year".

Generate a List of Markers for your Author(?) markers, and edit
the reference page so that the *LOM paragraph only contains the
building block <$markertext> (no <$pagenum>). Also make the *LOM
paragraph autonumbered with something like "[<n+>] ".

Now, regardless how you move text around, the generated list will
always show the marker text in the order they were entered,
correctly numbered.

The big problem is creating the actual references to these entries.
You cannot really create x-refs to generated paragraphs, as the x-ref
markers will be deleted whenever the list is re-generated (so you need
to re-link the x-refs), and you cannot create x-refs until the list is
generated in the first place.

But at least you get the bibliographic entries auto-generated :-)
