That is precisely why places do not correspond to specific levels in the 
hierarchy. There is no specific meaning of "order" that identifies how 
many levels down or up it is within the tree. But when you talk about a 
specific Order, using a particular classification system, then you do know 
where it stands within the tree - whether there is a subphylum above it for 
example.
