Placing endnotes from many chapters at the end of a book

Question

I am preparing a book (InDesign Book) with multiple chapters (InDesign Documents) using endnotes.  At present the endnotes within each chapter are on a separate page at the end of the chapter.  The Endnote Positioning Options selected are - Scope: Document, Endnote Frame: On a New Page.  I would like the endnote numbering to be a single sequence throughout the book and all the endnotes from the whole book to be moved to a page after the last chapter of the book.  Can this be done?  If so, how?

Correct: InDesign doesn't do end-of-book notes if the chapters are in separate documents. Here's script to handle that:

There's another script to handle end-of-book notes:

See which one fits your workflow better.
