    Resolved [RESOLVED] [2008] Sorting ExpandableObjectConvertor properties?

    I'm specifying the ExpandableObjectConvertor TypeConvertor for some properties of my custom Panel.

    I have expanded properties called "StartColor" and "EndColor." It makes sense to want to have "StartColor" listed first but they are shown in alphabetical order thereby displaying "EndColor" first.

    What I'm wondering is this: can I specifiy the order of the expanded custom properties in the PropertyGrid?

    The PropertyGrid always sorts alphabetically. Even when grouped it sorts alphabetically within each group.

    Fair enough. That's what I expected.

    EDIT: And, of course, after a day of trying to do this and posting on the forum, I find something immediately that looks promising:

    Yes, very cool! After some testing, it works just fine.
