• Sean,

    It's an orgchart chain with the upper root level removed. You want to find the sublevel's highest association. Highest Association is decided by the lowest ID.

    I just wanted to clarify that for the moment. I know of a way to do it but I've got a meeting coming up. I'll be back in a bit with the answer if someone doesn't beat me to it.
