I have citations in my figures caption, which gets numbered as [1], and the citation in chapter 1 gets numbered as [4].
I want the citation in chapter 1 to be numbered as [1] without removing the citation in the caption.
I know one of the solutions is using \caption[<Figure title>]{<Figure title> \cite{<Source>}}, but I would prefer not to do so many edits to my document.
Any other easy way to do this would be greatly appreciated.
