u32	1	Build Order ID Count
u32	Build Order ID Count	Build Order ID Table	The first element of the ID table is the root bone, followed by the rest of the bone IDs in reverse numerical order. This table is enumerated in-order to construct a singly-linked hierarchy of bones using child/sibling convention.
