How to sort your endotes alphabetically?
I have a big document, with a lot of bibliographic references put in endotes.
I would like to sort the endnotes list alphabetically (as is common for bibliographic references), but I don't know how. Also, the refernces in the text should stay the same, even if reference number "1" will now no longer be the first item in the alphabetically sorted endote list at teh end of my document. |

How to sort your endotes alphabetically?
Endnotes and bibliographic references are not the same thing. Endnotes, like
footnotes, are always in the order of occurrence within the document. Otherwise, apart from anything else, how on earth would the user find any given reference? They are looking up the number they saw in the text, and manually have to search your reference list to find it. The whole point of sorting is to make things easy for the reader. Bibliographic references should be entered in the text in a form that matches they way they appear in the bibliographic list, eg "[Chomsky, 1959]" or whatever format is given in the style guide you're using.

What you want is not endnotes but a numbered reference list. Find
