Custom PropertyGrid Sort! -- dotnet windows forms designtime

Dear Ozden,

For sure, you can't sort the categories. What you can do for properties
is to derive from ICustomTypeDescriptor and control the order of the
properties you return with GetProperties. Not very intuitive.

Note also that a new product is in development, Smart PropertyGrid
visible at http://www.propertygrid.net, that will allow custom sort
(could be on UserData stored in each property for example). I'm
currently grabbing ideas for this feature so if you want to
participate ;)
A post dealing with this issue will be available today or tomorrow on
the web site.

Best regards

I read somewhere you could "sort" the categories using \r, \r\r, \r\r\r
and so on in front of the category text, altough I havent tried this yet
myself.

The properysorter class found on The Code Project will give you a quick
and easy way to sort your properties.
