I am getting an error for below query for "sql server 2005"

Error:

Type hierarchyid is not a defined system type.

<pre>HierarchyID Data Type</pre>

<pre> select *from [TestingDB].[dbo].[Table_1] ORDER BY CAST('/' + id + '/' AS hierarchyid)</pre>

As i know that it is featured provided by sql server 2008 R2 so that i got above error for <pre>"sql server 2005"</pre>

How can i used it for <pre>"sql server 2005"</pre>

Please help

Thanks to all for their valuable time for looking into this issue..
