I am writing a paper with tables that have their own references. The journal (AMA format) requires that the references in the table are numbered in sequence with the ones in the main text, starting from the highest numbered reference just before the table is first mentioned in the text. The table is at the bottom of the document after the references. I tried to put double references (one set where the table is mentioned in the main text, one set within the table) and then I erased the ones in the main text. It worked initially, but then after inserting new references, the reference order was reset and the table references became the highest numbered, as they appear at the bottom of the document. Any thought?
