Question : MS Project and SQL Server

We store our MS Project files in a SQL Server DB.  We pull task data from SQL Server into MS Excel for various metrics and reports.  One complaint I constantly get from the managers is that when we pull tasks into Excel they are not in the same hierarchial order as they appear in MS Project.
Does anyone know if a table/field exists in Project that contains data to help me order the tasks that come into Excel as they appear in MS Project????
Thank you,
Don

Answer : MS Project and SQL Server

Okay -- you have ID or Unique ID which will be the row in Project like 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.  Not sure why I remembered the 1.1 (probably convention we always use so stuck in my mind) but you have the Outline Level which will indicate top level (1) or second level (2) or ...

Oh wait, that just reminded me.  That is where the 1.1 is, look also at the Outline Number column.

Hope that helps.
