Yup, absolutely.  There are a few additional, probably tough, things I
wish it would do to make it really slick, but I really recommend
EndNote and use it quite happily.  (I don't have any connection other
than a contented user relationship).

When you insert a reference into your text, you insert (or EndNote
creates for you if you use cut/paste) a tag referring to your
reference.  After you have finished putting tags in your document you
open the EndNote application and "format" the paper, replacing the
tags with citations.  It will number them in the order they appear, or
as you specify.

WordRef (available on sumex) has also been well spoken of, and it does
have the advantage of the ability to have figures, etc. sequentially
numbered, but I've decided it would take me more time to learn than is
worth my while.  If you're starting from scratch you may want to
consider it.
