In more detail

The hierarchy shows the same coding as the node network, arranged in levels. The project sits at the top, the themes beneath it in their colours, and each theme's codes and sub-codes branch below.

Where the network shows how things cluster, the hierarchy shows how they nest. It is a useful check before writing, since a heading for each theme and a subheading for each code is the usual shape of a findings chapter.

In Themescape

Choose Hierarchy from Figure style. The order column in the Framework tab sets the order of themes, and Custom placement in Work mode lets you reorder them for the display. Each view keeps its own order, saved in the layout file.
