Sorting members using Load Rule Parent Child Method

Question

Hi all,
I have a Product Dimension with around 7 gen's and wanted to sort Gen 3 members under parent (say CommProduct). All these members are initially loaded using Studio and i am trying sort Gen 3 members using a text file / Load Rule (Parent Child Method). I have "Allow Moves" ,"Allow Property Changes" and member sorting: None checked for the load rule. I tried updating the outline using the load rule, however the outline remains unchanged and members sorted by alphabets.
Essbase Version: 11.1.2.3
Current Hierarchy:
Product 
           CommProduct
                                 A
                                 B
                                 C
                                 D
                                 E
Hierarchy Wanted:
Product 
           CommProduct
                                 A
                                 C
                                 E
                                 B
                                 D
Dim Build Text File:
Parent,Child,Aggregation
CommProduct,A,+
CommProduct,C,+
CommProduct,E,+
CommProduct,B,~
CommProduct,D,+
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Can't you create a column where you can specify the desired order and build accordingly. I don't think you can achieve that using a load rule. Allow moves works only if the members are under a different parent. In your case it is the same parent.
