Source numbering sequence on reports

[brcox1]

I am using Reunion 10. Why do some (not all) of my source numbering sequence on register reports, family history reports, etc. show up in non-chronological order? I have them in chronological order in Reunion 10. I am including a sample from a register report. In the sample see the source numbering sequence for “Born on 10 Feb 1806 in Morris Co., NJ.^12,4.”

SAMPLE --

“In Dec 1826 when Ann "Anna" was 20, she married Robert Sylvester KELSO Sr. in Franklin Co., OH.^7,4 Born on 10 Feb 1806 in Morris Co., NJ.^12,4 Robert Sylvester died in Park Co., CO, in Nov 1874; he was 68.¹² Buried in Horn Cemetery, Park Co., Colorado.^12,13”

I am still in need of advice on this topic!!! I am doing a 132 page register report and have to go line by line to see if I need to change any of my sources within the body of the report (not the separate source list). It is very tedious work. So, I would appreciate any suggestions on this topic.

Hi,

The order of the citation numbers is determined by the order they appear in the Source Citations list in the Edit Person/Family screens.

There's no way to automatically sort those. You would need to manually edit each record and drag them into the appropriate order.

Sorry I don't have better news,

Even those whose source numbers that are not in chronological order in the register reports, I’ve double checked the Source Citations list in the Edit Person/Family screens and those are in the right order. What I'm asking is why is this happening????

The sources ARE in the appropriate order in Reunion 10. I am using Pages as my destination. Was wondering if maybe that could be the problem. But, like I've said that it doesn't happen with all the fields that I have more than one source.

I understand what you're asking.

The only reason I'm aware of that sources would be out of order is the reason I mentioned above.

If you'd be willing to send the family file to us, as outlined here, I can take a look at it and see if I can determine the cause of the problem. Please include details on some specific entries (names, dates, Person ID #'s) in your email.

Thanks,
