Description Randy Giffen

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.

This could be solved by allowing subclassing of PropertySheetEntry

Defer. The ordering should be consistent for the user.

Comment 4 Randy Giffen

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
