Endnotes section divided into subsections (follow-up)

Question

This is a follow up from the question discussed here: Endnotes section divided into subsections

My original code being turned into a MWE as much as possible is (below). My document has an unnumbered 'PREFACE' section and a number of numbered sections (chapters). Each of these sections have footnotes. The latter must be placed at the very end of the document under 'ENDNOTES' title and grouped by respective section titles.

The issue is that my extended MWE code (see pics below) does not produce a desired look (the one that was obtained here). It must be, I suspect, due to my manipulations with sections rules (there is a section, in preamble, for that in my extended MWE code):

What's the question exactly? What are you trying to change in the output? — cfr, Oct 29 '23 at 20:46
Did you try the suggestion you received in comments on the earlier answer you got? That is, move the notes stuff after the titlesec stuff. If you did, please explain why that didn't work. — cfr, Oct 29 '23 at 20:49
@cfr I am to write the answer in this thread. Moving the endnotes rules after the 'titlesec' did work for me. — Alex, Oct 29 '23 at 22:31

The answer to my question is in the following code (below). It produces the desired output with ENDNOTES section being organized under respective unnumbered/numbered sections (see screenshot at the bottom).

At its core, the issue was ordering of things in the preamble of the LaTeX file. It turned out that (a) package titlesec redefines \section and (b) our customization of endnotes to have split sections of the notes also requires a redefinition of \section. Thus, if (b) is placed ahead of (a) then the loading of titlesec would overwrite our redefinition. However, placing (b) after (a), ensuring our redefinition of \section is done after titlesec is loaded, produced the desired look of the ENDNOTES section.

It would be nice if you explained the reason for the problem (namely, redefining \section then loading titlesec, which overwrote the redefinition) and what you did to fix it. Other than that, +1, thanks. — gusbrs, Oct 29 '23 at 22:38
Alex, I took the liberty of editing a little for clearness. Thanks again. — gusbrs, Oct 30 '23 at 10:57
