sort issue

[Joy]

in our ms project, we have a field called task_order.

suppose we have a ms project:

WBS order
1 1
1.1 2
2 3
3 4



now we add onw task 1.2 in server and import some data (in csv file). the
data is:

WBS order
1 1
1.1 2
2 4
3 5
1.2 3

then we do sort, in ms project file, it looks like this:


WBS order
1 1
1.1 2
2 4
3 5
1.2 3

it seems that ms project do sort within each summary task. I am curious
whether it treats 1.2 as a sub task as task 3 instead of task 1.

how can I change my code to let it show the correct way:



WBS order
1 1
1.1 2
1.2 3
2 4
3 5

Joy,
When you use the Sort Method, set the Outline parameter to "False".
