Ordering Hierarchical Queries

Hi,

I have a question about hierarchical queries.

Suppose I have a table:

PARENT                          NOT NULL VARCHAR2(10)
 CHILD                           NOT NULL VARCHAR2(10)
 SORT_ORDER                               NUMBER(5)

I want to do a hierachical query, I could do:

select parent, child, sort_order, level
from relation
connect by parent = prior child start with parent = 'A' ;

But, if I want the out put sorted via sort_order and at the same time preseved the level.

How should I do it?

Thanks in advance.
