It may not be a very practical solution, but is possible to get your
entries ordered in this way, if you configure JabRef to show a custom
field, e.g. "pubday" in a General fields tab as well as in the main
table. If you enter the date in YYYY.MM.DD format for all entries, and
sort the table according to the pubday column, you will see the
entries in the order you want. If you choose to save in table order
(in Options -> Preferences -> File) you will get the same ordering in
your bib file.
