Preserve the sorting of a hierarchy during import to MDM

Hi experts

I have imported a hierarchy from a legacy publishing system

The file is XML and itu2019s close to perfect except for one very important thing

The hierarch is sorted manually in the legacy system and not by any number or letters

This sorting has to be preserved throughout the entire migration

I know itu2019s possible to sort the hierarchy by hand in MDM by inserting a category as sibling.

This is what I need to avoid for potentially over 300.000 categories in all in many hierarchies.

Using the "create hierarchy filed" in the import manager, should display 4 fields instead of only 3

The last filed should be used to sort the hierarchy during import.

Iu2019m able to get a running number from the legacy to control the sorting of the categories.

Hope you have a solution.

Please do not tell me that I just have to live with one more missing function in MDM.
