I'd like to add this to the wish list for future upgrades:

My SOURCE LIST is getting VERY long. I find myself often using just OBITUARY
for the source, then putting all the information in a CITATION, rather than
citing "Obituary of John Wesley Daniel", etc. I'd love to be able to
categorize my sources and have them in nested drop down lists similar to the
other Windows menu choices:

CENSUS:
1860 US
Kentucky
Estill Co.
Fayette Co.
Grant Co.
Tennessee

BOOK:
The Stephenson Story
Daniel Families of the Southern States

Categories I use heavily are: Census, Book, Family Records, Obituaries,
Birth Certificates, Death Certificate, Records by specific County (from the
Clerk's Office), Wills, Family Bibles, Cemetery, Message Board Posts,
WebPage data, Personal Knowledge, Newspaper clipping, Manuscripts, Records
submitted by other researchers, etc.

I'd like to have the option of having the top category (or folder level)
print or not print when the source is printed:

I'd like for "1860 US Census" to print before "Kentucky" and "Estill Co."

but would not like for "Book" to print before a title of a book.

In the meantime, do any of you have ideas on how to organize our SOURCES
into a manageable system?
