In Pennsylvania several years ago, I was cited with Disorderly Conduct and Public Drunkenness and paid a fine.
I am now applying for a job that asks if I have ever been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor, and I'm not sure how to answer.
Any ideas?

Well, it's either a felony or a misdemeanor. So the answer is yes.

Citations are usually given out for a violation of an ordinance! They are not a crime! You can be drunk all you want in public in New Orleans during certain times of the year, and most towns have no ordinance about public intoxication! I said town's, not Cities!
I know you have committed no felony!

Disorderly conduct is usually a third degree misdemeanor.

No, absolutely not, if it is a violation of a city ordinance then it is simply an infraction, and nothing more. Further, disorderly conduct is most likely and ORDINANCE meaning you were most likely guilty of an infraction.

those are often misdemeanors, the cost relies upon on what you have been charged with, the main appropriate code call and variety of the state code, that defines no count if it rather is a criminal or misdemeanor.

It may have been an OFFENSE. Check the statute. Its certainly not a felony and is a misdomeanor at worst (but may not even be that)

Answer truthfully. If you deny it and you're hired. You can be fired for falsifying information on your job application.
