Description Randy Giffen CLA 2001-10-10 22:45:39 EDT 
PropertySheetEntry orders its properties alphabetically.
This provides deterministic ordering in the case of merged properties.
There are many cases however where implementor's of IPropertySource would like to control the ordering.

Comment 2 Randy Giffen CLA 2002-01-22 11:56:20 EST 
This could be solved by allowing subclassing of PropertySheetEntry
Comment 3 Kevin Haaland CLA 2002-02-01 12:14:48 EST 
Defer. The ordering should be consistent for the user.
Comment 4 Randy Giffen CLA 2002-02-01 12:24:56 EST 
This is a reoccuring issue that people want.
For example if there is a bounds property with sub properties, when
you expand the bounds users want to see:
- bounds
    x
    y
    width
    height

rather than
- bounds
    height
    width
    x
    y
