When listing something in order, do you write "respectively" at the end to signify correct order?

Question

For eg. "The film has an introduction, climax and a resolution, respectively"

yes i know what you mean, thanks lou b!

Answer 1

No. You use 'respectively' when you have referred to something once and go on to describe in order.....eg.

'The film has an introduction, climax and resolution, which are informative, exciting and satisfying respectively.'

Not very well put, but I hope you can see what I mean.....

Answer 2

example:
"mike and sam led the team in scoring with 23 and 22 points respectively."

It can also be used as above...
