You need also:

   \setuppublications[sorttype=bbl]

Because the default is to sort by order of appearance
in \cite commands first, and only for the remaining
part use the bbl ordering.

\switchtobodyfont is somewhat better for this because
does not do as much as a full document-wide switch
(and is therefore faster).

You may even get away with only a single font command
like \tfx, but that does not work too well if there
are embedded math formulas or font switches in your
document.
