Quick question! In TMG when I had multiple sources for a given fact type, I was able to change the order in which they appeared by moving them up or down in the list . usually putting the one I thought was the most reliable source at the top of the list and the least reliable source at the bottom of the list. In RootsMagic, it appears that a new source is just added to the end of whatever sources are already showing, not sorted alphabetically or in any particular order as far as I can tell. I do see any way that I can reorganize the list, such as in a list of children one could either drag/drop to a different order or sort by date. Does one exist and I have just missed it or does it actually NOT exist and they just go to the end of the line? Pat

I really miss this feature too! When I find a better source, I like to be able to move it to the top of the list. Seems odd to have a derivative source placed before a primary one.

Hi Pat As others have said, you haven't missed this feature in RM because it isn't there. There was some discussion of this issue on the RM7 forum a couple of months ago - see http://forums.rootsmagic.com/index.php?/topic/14740-sorting-source-names-in-the-citation-manager/ It's something that has been requested for many years.
