Ok, so if I have a paper that requires end note or foot notes, and I want to do end notes, that means that I do the little numbers by my references in the text, then number my works cited in order that they are used in the paper, and list in that order instead of alphabetical order, right?

Depends on the style that is preferred by your teacher. Most articles I read are in such a way that your citations are listed (and numbered) in the order you made them. However, the MLA and APA styles which are also common are written differently. For example, the sample sentence below as it would appear in a paper:
Blah blah blah, etc (Malarkey, 1992). And then some more words (Whatsit, 1993a) followed by stuff (Whatsit, 1993b).
In these cases, your citations would be written in alphabetical order.
