Hi Duane-

Can you explain this a bit more?  I'm not sure how these ordered 
fixtures fit into my question.

My primary concern isn't so much the order as it is recreating records 
properly with new association IDs.  I can't create records with the same 
ID because they may be added to a different database that may already 
have those IDs.
