How do I preserve my document structure?

[cellulosa]

Hi there and thank you for the great library.

When partitioning a word document, unstructured returns an array of objects e.g.

{
    type: 'Title',
    element_id: 'parentid',
    text: '#',
    metadata: {
      filename: 'filename',
      languages: [Array],
      filetype: 'text/plain'
    }
  },
  {
    type: 'ListItem',
    element_id: 'childrenid',
    text: "some text.",
    metadata: {
      filename: 'filename',
      languages: [Array],
      parent_id: 'parentid',
      filetype: 'text/plain'
    }
  }

I then store this object into my database, and noticed that items do not necessarly get saved in order. Meaning, when I go about retrieving back from the database the partitions to create a view of the whole document, there is no way of telling which bits comes first.

Am I missing something here? Is there a way to preserve the document structure? or shall I simply add my own incremental index to the result?
