So why not add a new outline as opposed to replacing it. That way you have
the original which references back to the old, and you have the new which
sorts correctly. You can use formulas to create your new structure based on
the old one.

I know that it would be simpler, but I have to cross reference some new
numbers to the old outline numbers, and the old outline did not have the
zeroes after the decimal point. I was hoping that Excel had something
that
recognized outlines.
