Order Tasks Properly

[phil.jacobs]

HI,
I am new to Project and am using MS Proj 2007. I used a work breakdown
structure program to get all the tasks in and then migrated to MS
Project. In my GANT chart, my7 tasks are out of order, but all under
the right headings and I have long arrows all over the place. I have
now put all arrows in and want to order the tasks according to time so
there is a nice waterfall effect on my GANT chart. Does anyone know
how to do this? I have searched around and cant find how to do it.
Many Thanks,
Phil
