I'm arranging the bibliography of my math textbook alphabetial by author
and it mostly works, but a couple entries are tricky.  For example:

@Book{Census:1992,
  author = 	 {US Bureau of the Census},
  title = 	 {Statistical Abstracts of the United States: 1992},
  publisher = 	 {Government Printing Office},
  year = 	 1992,
  address = 	 {Washington, DC},
  edition = 	 {112th}}

Using the settings
  \setupbibtex[database=../project, sort=author]
  \setuppublications[alternative=num, sorttype=bbl]
it turns into this entry in the .bbl file:

  \startpublication[k=Census:1992,t=book,
  a={{of~the Census}},y=1992,
  n=7,s=otC92]
  \author[]{US~Bureau}[U.~B.]{of~the}{Census}
  \pubyear{1992}
  \title{Statistical Abstracts of the United States: 1992}
  \city{Washington, DC}
  \pubname{Government Printing Office}
  \edition{112th}
  \stoppublication

I tried inserting a key={US Census} line in the bibtex entry, but the
key seems to be ignored if there's already an author key (based on a
moderately long stare at the cont-au.bst file).

How could I trick bibtex into believing that the author's last name is
"US", so that the entry would be placed with the "U" entries?
