Does anyone have any thoughts about citing editions of literary works and
classic works of theory, criticism etc which are re-edited?

I have two problems with endnote here:

1.      If I put the original year in the "year" field, and the year of
the edition in the "edition" field, the formatted version comes out back
to front in MLA format, with the year of the edition coming before the
publisher and place, and the original year after them, as though that
publisher and place concerned the original edition. Obviously, just
swapping their positions does not solve the problem. Has anyone solved
this? If you created a special reference type, I'd be interested to know
how you designed it.

2.      Related problem. If I decide to cite an edition under the name of
the editor, their is no place for the author. The "edited book" reference
type seems to be designed only for collections of essays.

By the way, I am unable to up- or down-load things, so I would prefer
answers just suggesting how I may re-design my own endnote (with minimal
fiddling - so far I have avoided making special reference types).

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
