Dear John,

The reason EndNote is placing a letter after the year is to disambiguate the
in-text citations (Johnson, 1940a) (Johnson, 1940b). If you have "letter
after year" selected in the "Sort Order", EndNote will include the letter
when it comes across the same last name and same year in the in-text
citations. If this is not what you want, you can turn off the "letter after
year" feature.

Best Regards,
