hi, I have a parent/child hierarchy list that I've exported out of our systems - I want to rearrange it so it goes from this:
EDIT: the paste didn't work, but basically INCOME has no indent, RENTS RECEIVABLE has 5 spaces indent, then the ones underneath it have a further 5 indents.


Display String
INCOME
Rents Receivable
Rent Receivable - Secure
Rent Receivable - Assured
Rent Receivable - Shared Ownership
Rent Receivable - Hostels (Licence)
Rent Receivable - Contractual Garages
Rent Receivable - Leasehold
Rent Receivable - Assured Shorthold
Rent Receivable - Ineligibles
Rent Receivable - Fair Rent
Rent Receivable - Contractual
Rent Receivable - Mixed Funding
Administrative Charges
Voids
Voids
Voids - Fair Rent
Voids - Contractual
Voids - Mix Funded
Voids - Garage
