Default Help with Org Charts

I have been using the Org Chart wizard to create org
charts with custom property fields. The problem I am
having is that the wizard does not seem to order the data
the same way each time the wizard is run even if the
order of the data in the file (Excel file) has not
changed. The employees are showing up under the right
supervisors, it's just that they never appear in the same
order twice and it doesn't seem to matter what order I
have them in within my file.

Is there a way in my Excel file to force the wizard to
place the employees in specific order under their
supervisor? In other words is there some sort of flag I
can set within the Excel sheet that the wizard recognizes
as an "ordering field"? Or is there another way to force
the wizard to always place the employees in the same
order (such as alphabetical)?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Laurie

Sorry, but the wizard has no way of specifying the order in which
subordinates will appear.
