Quick sorting
Sort your library references quickly by clicking on any of the displayed field headings to sort by ascending or descending order.
Changing the sort order
The Sort Library function provides a way to arrange all references showing in the Library window for browsing, exporting, printing, or copying. Click on Library > Sort Library.
Select one or more field names from the lists in the dialog boxes. Enter the field names in the order you want the references sorted. (You do not have to use all five options.)
Click the button to the right of each field to indicate ascending or descending order.
Click OK when done.
Simple search
Search your EndNote library for any word using the Simple search option above the reference list. This will search for any word or phrase from any field in your EndNote library or within the PDFs.
Advanced search
Use Advanced Search for a more specific or complex search of your library references. You can search your whole EndNote library or only within the displayed references.
The search line includes the Field to be searched, the Comparison operator (Contains, Is, Is less than, etc) and a blank field where you enter your search terms. The Field list allows you to restrict your search to a particular field such as Author, Year, or Keywords - or all fields. By default, the Field lists are set to search Author, then Year, then Title.
You can also restrict your search to PDF files attached to a reference by selecting the PDF option from the field list. The Any Field + PDF with Notes option allows you to search any field in a reference and within all PDF files in the selected group that you are searching.
