Action buttons placement in Source 'Add Citation' screen

When adding a Source to an information item the Add Source/Add Citation entry screen has three program button options - Cancel/Back/Save. The placement of these buttons is not in synch with decades of Windows/Internet development. By placing the Cancel button at the Left edge of the action bar it runs counter to the more standard button layout of having it to the right of the OK/Accept button. This means that having the Back button to the left of the OK button will cause any power user to delete the data just entered, unless they can re-learn long established muscle memory for this one screen. I have gotten my failure rate down to about 30% so far!!!

This request is to change the button layout to more industry standard placement as follows:
On the Left edge of the action bar - place the BACK button
On the Right edge of the action bar - place the CANCEL button (option 2 - put it in the CENTER)
If the CANCEL button is on the right edge - then place the OK button immediately to the left of said button. If the CANCEL button is centered in the action bar - the OK button would occupy the right edge.

I appreciate the time and consideration in considering this request.
