References can be easily sorted by clicking on the column heading 

References

(such as Author, Year, or Title). 

To change the sort order:

1. Click the Author column to change the current Author sort from 

ascending order to descending order.

NOTE: This example shows references that include Japanese 

characters. EndNote uses Unicode to encode special characters, so 

that data is easily translated between platforms, programs, and 

languages. If boxes appear instead of characters, you need to adjust 

your system to accommodate the characters. For Windows, install the 

Japanese language pack. For Macintosh, change in the International 

settings on Macintosh. Then change your General Display Font to a font 

that supports Unicode characters in your EndNote Preferences.

2. Click the Year column heading to see the references sorted in 

ascending order based on the year of publication.

3.  Click the Year column heading again (a second time) to reverse the 

sort order and see the references sorted in descending order.

4.  Now, click the Author column heading to return the sort order of 

the library to an ascending, alphabetical list sorted by the author 

names.
