[Tex/LaTex] Order of references, tables/figures, and appendices using apa6 class

apa-styleapa6

According to APA 6th edition, the order of a manuscript should be: Title Page, Abstract, Body, References, Footnotes, Tables, Figures, Appendixes. I am trying to typeset a manuscript with the class apa6 with apacite reference style, but the order of the last few parts doesn't seem to follow this. After the body (ignoring footnotes for now), it produced an order of tables/figures, appendix, reference. Here is a working example:

\documentclass[man,apacite]{apa6}
\usepackage[american]{babel}

\title{This is the title}
\author{Joe Williams}
\affiliation{University A}
\leftheader{Left header}
\abstract{This is the abstract}
\keywords{APA style}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

Content of the article.
This is what we cite \cite{Smith2013}.
Table~\ref{tab:the_able} has some info.

\begin{table}
\caption{A complex table.}
\label{tab:the_able}
\begin{tabular}{l l}
cell 1 & cell 2 \\
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

\appendix

\section{The Appendix}
Stuff I want to put in the appendix.

\bibliography{ref}

\end{document}

whereas the file "ref.bib" has the following content.

@article{Smith2013,
    Author = {Smith, A.},
    Journal = {Psychological Review},
    Number = {1},
    Pages = {23-45},
    Title = {{This is the title}},
    Volume = {6},
    Year = {2013}}

How can I fix this? Or, is there a way to arbitrarily reorder these different parts?

Best Answer

if I put \bibliography{ref} before \appendix, it would change the order from TF-A-R (for tables/figures, appendix, reference) to R-TF-A, for whatever reason.
