Sources out of order

[k nielsen]

All of my sources are now appearing at the end of my notes. Has anyone else has this problem?
How can I go back to having my sources appear after each entry? This just happened out of the blue...

Have you done anything with a GEDCOM file - e.g. exported your data and then reimported it?

That would cause this to happen.

As the Kiwi suggested, this problem usually occurs whenever a GEDCOM file is imported in to Reunion. It also the reason I always use seperated notes. One note, one source at the end. (Or two if they cite the same material.) In any case the citation(s) always go at the end of the text.

BTW, you can have any number of notes, including several with the same name (like Story).

Thanks Roger. That is exactly what I did. I went in and opened a backup file and resurrected my file. I will not do that again. Thank you.

Thank you Arnold for your tips. Yes that is what I did...imported a GEDCOM. I will not do that again.

I do what is shown in the attached screen shot, since I suffer the same problem when I export my data for publication on my TNG site - all the sources are linked to the note overall, but not to the specific place.

You can see this in effect on my site here

I have considered switching to using a new instance of the note for each new note so one source one note, but haven't decided if I want to invest that effort or not.

Just to clarify for anybody monitoring this thread....

The problem described by the original poster is a result of limitations in the GEDCOM standard.

It happens when a GEDCOM file is exported by Reunion (or any other genealogy software) and then that GEDCOM file is imported by Reunion (or any other genealogy software) -- and it only applies to source citations within the body of a note field (which is a feature supported by Reunion).
