Bibliography Grouping By Number of Authors
(c) Niles & Associates, Inc. 12/9/93
Some styles require that references be sorted with the works written by the
same first author grouped by the number of authors. So the works by the
first author alone come first, then the works by the first author and one
other, then the works by the first author and several collaborators:
Lee, J. (1992) Evolution...
Lee, J. (1993) Early...
Lee, J. and Jones, M. (1991) Symptomatic...
Lee, J., Able, K. and Jacobs, R. (1988) Development...
EndNote does not have this as a sorting option in the style specifications,
but we have the following suggested workaround:
When typing bibliographic references into EndNote, enter the first author's
last name into the "Label" field, then if there are two authors, a space and
the number 2. For three or more authors, add a space and the number 3. So
for the third reference above, you would type Lee 2 and for the fourth
reference, Lee 3 .
If you are using the Label field for something else, you can add a new field
to the reference types for this purpose. To do so, choose "Reference Types"
from the "Edit" menu, scroll down until you see a field you want to use
(such as "Custom 1") and type the field name (for instance Sorting Code )
for each reference type. Please see the EndNote manual for complete
instructions on adding new fields to Reference Types.
Then edit the style, choose "Sort Order" from the "Edit Styles" menu, and
click the "Other..." button. Sort on the "Label" field first, which will
group the bibliography references both by first author's last name, and by
the number of authors.
For sorting within the "number of authors" groups, you may want to see the
references in order by year. In that case, set the style to sort by first
by "Label", then "Year", "Author" and "Title", and click "OK" in the sorting
dialogs. Please see the list below, for an example of this sort, and the
last list to compare it with our standard sorts.

You may prefer to see the authors in alphabetical order within the "number
of authors" groups. In that case, set the style to sort by first by
"Label", then "Author", "Year" and "Title", and click "OK" in the sorting
dialogs. Please see the list below, for an example of this sort, and the
last list to compare it with our standard sort.
