Yes. Let me share the relevant bits of my csl file:

  <citation>
    <layout delimiter="; ">
      <text variable="title-short" suffix=" "/>
      <group prefix="[" suffix="]">
        <text variable="locator" suffix="/"/>
        <text variable="citation-number"/>
      </group>
    </layout>
  </citation>

  <bibliography entry-spacing="0">
    <sort>
      <key variable="citation-number"/>
    </sort>
    <layout>
      <text variable="citation-number" prefix="[" suffix="]"
            display="left-margin"/>
      <group delimiter=", " display="right-inline">
        <text variable="call-number" text-decoration="underline"/>
        <text variable="title" font-style="italic"/>
        <text variable="publisher"/>
        <date date-parts="year" form="text" variable="issued"/>
        <text variable="URL"/>
      </group>
    </layout>
  </bibliography>

Hmm. But is it? In my example (repeated here for simplicity) the markdown
shown below and my CSL gives this (citations sorted by citation-number,
which appears to be order of reference):

[1]    RFC 2549, IP over Avian Carriers with Quality of Service, IETF, 1999
[2]    RFC 1149, Avian Carriers, IETF, 1990

...but I'd like this (citations sorted by call-number):

[1]    RFC 1149, Avian Carriers, IETF, 1990
[2]    RFC 2549, IP over Avian Carriers with Quality of Service, IETF, 1999

Markdown:

---
title: Reference order illustration

references:
- id: RFC1149
  call-number: RFC 1149
  title: Avian Carriers
  publisher: IETF
  issued: {year: 1990}

- id: RFC2549
  call-number: RFC 2549
  title: IP over Avian Carriers with Quality of Service
  publisher: IETF
  issued: {year: 1999}
...

# Text

This is RFC 2549 [@RFC2549].

This is RFC 1149 [@RFC1149].
