Citating order issue

Hi,

I am trying to order my in-text references so that they are the correct a, b, c format. I did manage this though

Edit>Output Styles>Edit “whatever your style” Choose Citation >Sort order select same as bibliography.

THEN go to the bibliography >Sort order I created a custom author+date rather than the default author+date+title

However this seemed to work until I realised that the in-text order of references could no longer be edited into date order (I assume because it is now following bibliography order).

So what I am attempting to edit the output to do is the following:

  1. a, b, c, etc in the order cited in text

  2. Groups of in-text references placed in date order

Any advice/help appreciated.

The output style is in-built into Endnote at my university. What I am referring to is the order in which they are cited, so for example the first North 2006 I use in the text is changed to 2006b when I insert another North 2006 later in the text (which becomes 2006a). I need the first citation to be a and the second to be b.
