Order references by custom-ordered reference type

[rdo101]

Hi all, 

I’m trying to compile publications lists in particular groupings using X7. I want to set the output style  bibliography sort order to to move into word by reference type, then year.

Currently, they output by reference type, but this is alphabetically (e.g., book, book chapter, conference paper, creative work, generic…) and then by year in each group. However, I’m required to order them in specific groups (ie. books and editied books, book chapters, journals, conference proceedings, conference papers, reports, articles, creative works…) which are not alphabetical. 

1. Does anyone know of a way I can do this, other than manually copy/pasting the refs into the correct order in word?
2. Also, anyone know of an automated way to insert a heading before each reference type pubs in word?

What you could do is to:

1. Modify your output style, so the bibliography is sorted by Year (see image 1); and
2. Use Endnote’s “Categorize References” feature to a) create and specify the category headings, then b) drag-and-drop the references into the corresponding category. (See image 2.)

The resulting bibliography with categorized headers/references and sorted by year is shown in image 3.
