Forgot to answer the second part of your question, must be the old age!!
You can go about producing a waterfall structure to your schedule in a couple of ways.
1) MS Project has many similarities with other Microsoft applications, in this instance you can use a functionality that is shared with Excel. Highlight the row and drag and drop the tasks, this way you can order the schedule as you like.
2) If the WBS structure is rigid and doesn’t allow that, then you can sort by start date – Project > Sort > by Start Date.
As I mentioned in my other post you may want to save your schedule before attempting this.
You can still use F9 to reschedule or let MS Project do it for you automatically.
Tools > Options > Calculation
Then check the automatic calculation mode radio button, click calculate now and then click OK.
I’m sure you’ve found out by now, but before you try anything new always save the schedule first. There is only functionality for one undo, so the only way you can go back further is to go back to the original file and start again.

You can update data date like primavera by going to Project Menu >> Project Information >> specify new "Status Date".
