Hi Ann, If I remember correctly, the problem that you face and the reason for it is derived from matter the evolution of TMG and the evolution of source of template styles, from Lackey to Mills to Custom. The TMG Source Entry User Interface (GUI) only listed the fixed set of fields in a fixed order. As different source templates were created, all that these definitions provided was alternative labels for this fixed list of fields. The entry order of those fields in the GUI did not change and could not be changed by the user, only the labels were changed by the creation of a custom source type. The user has no control over the order of the display of the fields. The second problem that you may strike if you tried to create a custom set of source type definitions within the TMG fixed set of source fields is that some fixed source elements had special properties and so the output that you need cannot then be created. The fixed order and the limited number of possible fields are both limitations of the design of the source system in TMG.
