I do not know if this is the right forum to ask this. I use bibtex.el/auctex/reftex for managing my bibtex database in emacs. 

Is there a way to sort the database records by a particular field, and to be able to search and replace a string in a particular field of a bibtex database using emacs?

Would appreciate any pointers.

Vikas

as far as I know, no. Maybe the replace function could be achieved with
a regexp replace search...

Nevertheless with a small perl script youd could get it (I think) in an
relatively easy way.

At least sorting should be possible with Ebib:

http://joostkremers.github.io/ebib/ebib-manual.html#sorting-the-.bib-file

Searching for a string in a particular field is also possible:

http://joostkremers.github.io/ebib/ebib-manual.html#filters

But replacing that string is a different matter. Perhaps in the next version...
