Hi Kirsten,
You need to use the Source List Name to keep things together and
findable on the Master Source list.
It sorts (currently) only by Source List Name.
How you do it depends on how you think about sources. I do it by
type. Some people put location first so that all sources for a
particular State are found together.

Hello Gail:
Your list was extremely informative. Thanks for doing that tabulation.
Your breakdown appears to pretty closely follow Elizabeth Shown Mills'
recommendations. Now, of course, it generates a few additional questions:
1) Does a list of 800+ Master Sources become cumbersome to manage? (Is it
difficult to find things?)
2) Do you use Legacy's Source List Name field (short name) to cause like
items such as books, church or cemetery records to sort together on the
Master Source List or does that happen automatically because of the title of
the citation? (I can see that census listings would sort together, but
church records and some of the others probably would not.)
3) If you do use a "short name," how do you keep track of what you called
things?
Thanks again for your response; it's been very helpful.
Kirsten
