"a place so important" or "so important a place"

0Hi, all.02br
00I was wondering if you could assess these two phrases: (1)01font00"a place so important"02font00 and (2)01font00"so important a place"02font00.02br
02br
00'We need to record this discovery in detail, since it will hold 01font00[ ]02font00 in the development of science in general.'02br
02br
00The blank in the sentence above should be filled with either (1) or (2).02br
00(2) is unfamiliar to me, but still it's grammatically correct, I should think.02br
00Then, what about (1)? Will it be incorrect if we put it in the blank?0-

00It should be "01b01i00such an02i02b00 important place" - of your two options, neither sounds natural, but (2) sounds least bad.02br

00Thank you for correcting me. blank-blanket.02br
02br
00As for the question, 02br
00I have to put [a, place, so, important] in a correct order. There's no "such".02br
02br
00So the answer should be (2)?0-
