     If you use natbib, I think you could use the \citealp{} command  
to manually construct the ordering you desire:

"...in older specimens (\citealp{Gudger1935}; \citealp{Wheeler1969};  
\citealp{Nickerson1978}; \citealp{Scott1988}; \citealp{Collette2002})."

     That should not change.  I agree that an "automated" solution  
would be preferable.
