Default End notes numbering

Here is my situation. I am working on a long (200-300 p) document at work.
One section (Section 3) has extensive notes. The references are not at the
end of the page or at the end of the document; they are in another section
(Section 4). Sections are separated by Header One. Originally, the notes in
Section 3 were numbered sequentially. However, I was ordered to make all the
references in Section 4 alphabetical by author, which means of course that
the notes in Section 3 all need to be renumbered. I can go in and do it
manually, but they are also supposed to be linked (i.e. double click note
number, document goes to proper reference). Is this "doable" when they are 2
sections of a document? I scanned through the end notes entries and tried
using custom and symbol to re-number. But that links to end notes at the end
of the document, not in Section 4.
Incidentally, when I was given the draft of Section 3 to edit, the numbers
looked like links (they are shaded gray in the electronic copy) but were not
actually linked to anything.
I hope my question is clear. My lunatic boss has been screaming in my ear
about "organizing end notes" and I think this is what she means (she never
actually tells people what she means but that is another headache). Thanks
for anyone who can help.
