When I open a MSP file, my task numbers are out of sequence.

From: JT on 13 May 2008 12:42 I am having MS Project files that open with the task ID numbers out of sequence. For example, when I reopen a saved file, a summary task from within the project is automatically moved to a random row within the project. I am also seeing tasks being re-indented (both in and out).
From: JulieS on 13 May 2008 15:35 Hello JT, My guess is that your project file has been sorted. Go to Project > Sort > Sort By and select ID. That should return your tasks back to the original order and restore the summary and subtask relationships. I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

From: JT on 13 May 2008 15:55 I re-sorted the tasks by ID. That worked well. When I open the file, the summary task sorts by "start date" rather than "ID." I want it to always sort by ID, not the start date. Would you happen to know why the file would automatically default to "sort by start date"?

Hi JT, If you've resorted the file, saved and reopened does the file retain the saved sort order?
