Printing tree with SQL CTE

The schema is as follows:

CREATE TABLE [Structure](
    [StructureId] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
    [SequenceNumber] [int] NOT NULL, -- order for siblings, unique per parent
    [ParentStructureId] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [Structure_PK] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
(
    [StructureId] ASC
)
) ON [PRIMARY]

ALTER TABLE [Structure]  WITH CHECK ADD  CONSTRAINT [Structure_FK1] 
FOREIGN KEY([ParentStructureId])
REFERENCES [Structure] ([StructureId])

Currently, I can get all the logical data out with the follow CTE, but I would like to print it directly in a depth first fashion.

WITH SCTE (StructureId, Level, Seq, ParentId)
AS
(
  SELECT StructureId,  0, SequenceNumber, [ParentStructureId]
    FROM Structure
    WHERE [ParentStructureId] IS NULL 
          AND StructureId = 'F6C5F016-1270-47C1-972F-349C32DFC92A'

  UNION ALL

  SELECT Structure.StructureId, Level + 1, SequenceNumber, ParentStructureId
  FROM Structure
  INNER JOIN SCTE ON SCTE.StructureId = Structure.ParentStructureId
)

SELECT * FROM SCTE
ORDER BY Level, ParentId, Seq

The output is as follows (truncated here):

StructureId                     Level   Seq ParentId

As you can see, the result is 'breadth first' which makes printing a tree kinda impossible as it is now.

Is there any way (there probably is a trivial way, but my SQL skills are extremely poor) to get the resultant list in 'tree printing friendly' format?

I know I could just dump the results into a program and code the output, but as an exercise I would prefer doing this in SQL itself.

Thanks

Edited after comment. You could add the path to a node, and order on that:

declare @t table (id int, parent int)
insert @t (id, parent) values (1, null), (2,1), (3,2), (4,3), (5,null), (6,5)

; with cte as (
    select  id, parent
    ,       cast(RIGHT(REPLICATE('0',12) + 
                 CONVERT(varchar(12),id),12) as varchar(max)) Path
    from    @t
    where   parent is null
    union all
    select  child.id, child.parent
    ,       parent.Path + RIGHT(REPLICATE('0',12) + 
                                CONVERT(varchar(12),child.id),12) as Path
    from    @t child
    join    cte parent
    on      parent.id = child.parent
)
select  *
from    cte
order by
        Path

This prints the root first, followed by leaves in order. If your id can be larger than 12 digits, increase the number in the char(x) casts.
