    Yes, I understand opening a project created in a newer Unity version in an older version is not supported, but I found in my case I was able to get a large project to work in an older version by making a tool to restore the game object ordering. It works by writing the ordering to text file from the the newer Unity version and then reading the file and reordering the out of order siblings in the older version. So both Unity versions are required to use it. I thought it might be useful to the community, so it is available here: https://github.com/chazroberts/HierarchyFixerUpperTool.git
