Sorting

[Jim Jones]

I am using MS Project for the very first time. I want the sequence of ID
numbers for the tasks to correspond to the start dates, but careless
insertion of new tasks has lost the correspondence I need. Is there any way
in which I can change the sequence of ID numbers to correspond with the order
of the start dates?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Try Project/Sort/Sort by.../select Start and below, select to Permanently
renumber tasks.
