I thought of that but where there are next record fields involved, the merge goes across then down, so the lower cell in the first column will have the value from the cell in the top of the third column.
What you could do to get around this is to use a SET field to record the value required in the upper cell and a REF field to reproduce the value in the lower cell. Thus in

cell row 1 column 1
SET A { MERGEFIELD FIELDNAME } }
cell row 1 column 2
SET B { MERGEFIELD FIELDNAME } }
cell row 1 column 1
SET C { MERGEFIELD FIELDNAME } }

Then for the lower cells

Cell row 2 column 1
{ REF A }
Cell row 2 column 2
{ REF B }
Cell row 2 column 3
{ REF C }

Repeat from Row 3
