It's not difficult to hack the bst.file in this case.
In abbrv.bst you'll find the function {sort.format.names}. There is the
line:

   s nameptr "{vv{ } }{ll{ }}{  f{ }}{  jj{ }}" format.name$ 't :=
         von --^  last-^  first-^       ^- junior

which gives the sorting order. So you want to change it to

   s nameptr "{ll{ }}{  f{ }}{vv{ } }{  jj{ }}" format.name$ 't :=

so that sorting first takes the last name, then the first name, and then
the von part.

PS.Of course you have to rename abbrv.bst

Hope this helped,
Robert
