Is it possible to export my group of references to a word document sorting them year? I’d like to list the most recently published works first working down in descending order to the oldest. Note that I would like the bibliography to continue to list authors first but only sort the list by year rather than alphabetical. I tried modifying the output style by editing the “sort order” and saving as a new custom output style. However that had no apparent effect in changing the sort order either in my group in endnote or the bibliography in Word.
Someone shared the solution with me. It does in fact work to adjust or set the sort order. However you must reset the new output style in word and endnote than copy it in.
You can edit the output style and specify the edited output style when exporting. It should export it to an RTF file I think, to maintain the formating rather than plain text.
The easiest way is to use a style that sorts by appearance, and sort the records in the library window in descending order, and export to the file. For example “numbered” (but it numbers them, so if you don’t want them numbered change the sort order from an author-date style, and change the sort order and save it to a new output style name). This exports them to the file in the order displayed in the library window (tested 5/3/2023 in EndnoteX9).
