Chain Sorting

Hi all, I have a data where currently it is all sorted and I have over 2 million records. There is a parent ID and can have multiple children and I want to sort them in a way where i can see the chain of each path like below:

 

Sale date Parent IDID
2022-05-05 005
2022-05-05005008
2022-05-05008010
2022-05-05010017
2022-05-05008015
2022-05-05015019
2022-08-10 800
2022-08-10800865
2022-08-10865900
2022-08-1090058



Using a normal sort wont work as it will sort ascending and will not show the chain effect. Maybe I could use iterative macro but im not familiar with it. 

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi @jt98 

 

This would not be exactly solution to your question, but if you want "Chain", then try iterative macro like attached workflow.
