Gail,
There is nothing wrong with having a format of:
Source Detail:
Cemetery, Town, County, State

Citation Detail:
John Doe tombstone, block X, lot Y; photographed by [me], date

Output:
Cemetery, Town, County, State, John Doe tombstone, block X, lot Y;
photographed by [me], date

This is the format I use.  I only have 1 source per cemetery, and everything
else goes into the citation.  While this format is not exactly how Ms. Mills
wrote about in her book _Evidence! Citation & Analysis for the Family
Historian_, it's close enough for me that I, or anyone else, can find this
tombstone again, which is the reason for a citation in the first place.

Regards,
Debbie Schnell Woolard

Is there a way to rearrange the order of the Source Citation output given 
the following inputs:

Input fields used:
Source List Name: State, County, Town - Cemetery
Type: Cemetery
Author: [blank]
Title: Cemetery, Town, County, State
Publication: [blank]
Citation Detail: John Doe tombstone, block X, lot Y, photographed by [me], 
date

Output: Cemetery, Town, County, State, John Doe tombstone, block X, lot Y, 
photographed by [me], date

Here's how I would like it to read (using Mills' suggested citation format 
in "Evidence"):
John Doe tombstone, block X, lot Y, Cemetery, Town, County, State; 
photographed by [me], date

Note that the Citation Source is sandwiched in between the Citation Detail. 
I would prefer not to create a separate source for each stone.  It's handy 
to me for each cemetery, not each individual stone, to serve as a source.

Is there a way to get the output I want without having to rig the input 
fields?  What have others done who are trying to conform with the current 
genealogical citation standards?  I'd love some ideas!
