Bibliography layout and sort order

Maybe a combination of: 1) using groups (to separate/categorize the two types of text-sources - primary and secondary), and 2) using “sections” to generate the bibliography for the two groups (i.e., primary, secondary). The process would go something like the following:

Refer to Image1 for steps 1 and 2:

Step 1. Categorize the EndNote library references by separating them into two groups. You can either: 1) select all the primary references then create a custom group, or 2) create the group first then start adding the references.( Image 1 shows two groups, one named “Primary” and the second named “Secondary” - with the corresponding references added to each group.)

Step 2. To generate a separate bibliography for each group of references (i.e., Primary, Secondary), the output style’s “Sections” option should be changed to: Create a bibliography for each section. Close the style to save the changes. Note that the changes will be saved as a “Copy” so adjust EndNote and MS Word to use the output style “Copy”.

Step 3. In a new blank MS Word doc, type the title (Bibliography) then insert a section break. Press the enter key to go to the next line, type “Primary Sources” (or Primary Texts). Press the enter key to insert a blank line then insert a section break. Now type the second section (this example uses “Secondary Sources”), press the enter key to insert a blank line.

Step 4. Return to EndNote and click to select the “Primary” group. Now select all of the corresponding references, return to MS Word and inset the citations to generate the bibliography. Return to EndNote, click to select the “Secondary” group then select the corresponding references. Return to EndNote in inset the citations and generate the bibliography. Once done, remove the EndNote field codes by clicking the "Convert Citations and Bibliography’ option and selecting: Convert to Plain Text.

Step 5. Finish modifying the document (e.g., delete the in-text citations, change spacing) then copy and paste the document into the main document (or append the bibliography to the main document).
