csv - neo4j-import: NodeLabelUpdates must be supplied in order of ascending node id -

while trying import csv produced wikipedia data following error:

i've tried filtering out & , / still same error (was mentioned in similar question).

the relationships csv (links2.csv) contains references don't exist in entities2.csv since it's small segment of data.

i'm using neo4j 2.2.5

this known issue fixed in codebase, see https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j/commit/45520e329403e166743b0027e75f2f658019ceae. either wait 2.2.6 or next release in 2.3 branch (either milestone or rc). alternatively grab sources , build snapshot on own.
