Dim member is moved to the bottom of the hierachy when alias is updated?

Question

Any idea why the a dim member is moved to the bottom of the hierachy when the alias is updated?
I'm updating the alias names for some of the members via batch script. I notices after script ran the member moved to the bottom of the heirarchy. Any idea?
What option can I use to keep the same order of the members.
This is the only option I saw that pertained to sorting:
Maintain the order of members in the load file when loading,
with the exception of UDAs (default). Use /-O to ignore the
order of members in the load file when loading.
Do you think if I use –O that it might leave the order alone?
John, can you please look at this and let me know your thoughts?
Thanks
Poorna

Thanks John! I really dont know about marking the post as helpful/correct. I did it now as helpful since I'm testing. If it works I will make it as correct
When i build outline fist time the data file is as follows:
Parent     Issue     Alias: Default     Data Type     Data Storage     Aggregation (Plan1)
All_Issues     Issue_00               Dynamic Calc     +
Issue_00     Issue_00_1     Issue_00_1: No Title     Currency     Store     +
Issue_00     Issue_00_2     Issue_00_2: No Title     Currency     Store     +
Issue_00     Issue_00_3     Issue_00_3: No Title     Currency     Store     +
For updating the Alias name I use the file format as follows:
Issue     Alias: Default     Operation
Issue_00_1     www     Update
Issue_00_2     25-Mult1     Update
Issue_00_3     25-Mult2     Update
So, you want me to add the column to the second file and provide the just one Parent member "Issue_00"? or all the parents till the top?
the outline looks like this:
Issue (Dim)
All_Issues (lev2)
Issue_00 (lev1)
Issue_00_1 (lev0)
Issue_00_2 (lev0)
Issue_00_3 (lev0)
Please let me know.
Thanks for your time.
