Remarks

Properties are listed in a property browser in the following order:

  1. By category.

  2. Alphabetically.

  3. By PropertyOrder.

You can control where a property appears in the property browser by using the PropertyOrderAttribute to specify a priority. You can specify that a property should appear earlier or later in the property browser. There are standard priorities that are provided as static properties of the PropertyOrder class. The standard priorities are Early, Late, and Default.

Properties that do not have a specific priority are assigned the Default priority.
