You apparently have a very old version of that template, the "type"  
key has long been deprecated. I advise you to reset your templates  
(you can do that either using the button in the Template preferences,  
or by removing the templates from Application Support and relaunching  
BibDesk).

OK, you mean the column in the main table. That's right, they're  
sorted by field and name. The idea behind this is that using editor is  
a backup, so it's like filling in an empty. So it first sorts by the  
first choice (authors) then the second choice (editor) then third  
choice (empty).
