What pandoc version are you on?

Try also -t native... you sure this is valid orgmode heading syntax for h4 and deeper?

[chrissound]

Will read up on -t native however it seems to generate some strange output?

pandoc -t native -s x.org -o x.md generates:

Pandoc (Meta {unMeta = fromList []})
[Header 1 ("test",[],[]) [Str "test"]
,Header 2 ("test-2",[],[]) [Str "test",Space,Str "2"]
,Header 3 ("test-3",[],[]) [Str "test",Space,Str "3"]
,OrderedList (1,DefaultStyle,DefaultDelim)
 [[Para [Str "test",Space,Str "4"]
  ,OrderedList (1,DefaultStyle,DefaultDelim)
   [[Para [Str "test",Space,Str "5"]
    ,OrderedList (1,DefaultStyle,DefaultDelim)
     [[Para [Str "test",Space,Str "6"]
      ,Para [Str "bla",Space,Str "bla"]]]]]]]]

But yes this should be valid org mode syntax.

See #3214 and #5169.

Adding #+OPTIONS: H:9 to the top of your org file will fix this.
