Hi, Riann. I understand that when you attempt to move items from the
Inbox to the root you are flattening the hierarchy. I can understand
that this would be frustrating. Let's see if we can find a way that you
can use MLO more effectively and avoid this flattening effect.
When I move a branch out of inbox and into root, it does not flatten. I
do this by selecting the top of the branch (an immediate child of the
inbox folder) and dragging it to the root. However, if I select the top
of the branch and also all of the children in the branch and then move
them, that is taken as a multi-select command to move each of the
selected items, separately, to the root and the hierarchy is lost. Is it
possible that when you have this problem, you might be multi-selecting
the children in the hierarchies that you are moving?
My suggestion for you would be
1. multi-select just the top level item in each hierarchy. One way to do
this is, from the inbox view, f6 then ctrl-a then f7.
2. Use the Outdent command to promote them to root level. If you prefer
keyboard over mouse, that's Shift+Alt+Left. If you prefer mouse, that's
the left-facing arrow in the toolbar that starts with the big red "new
task" button.
Please let me know if this resolves the issue for you.

hierarchy (which I may just have spent 25 minutes creating, since
things were all related/dependant. So of the 24 items, say 16 are
top-level (start of a hierarchy or and individual task), I now have to
select ONLY the ones that are single tasks, move them. Then I have to
select each hierarchy tree individually, and move them one-by-one.[...]
