hello.

I use categorized property grid control. But categories are always in alphabetical order. How can i specify my own categories order?

You can achieve this using the following approach:

1) Use the following code before assigning a property store to the property grid control:

CExtPropertyGridCtrl * pPGC = . . .
CExtPropertyGridWnd * pPGW =
    STATIC_DOWNCAST( CExtPropertyGridWnd,
        pPGC->GetChildByRTC( RUNTIME_CLASS( CExtPropertyGridWndCategorized ) ) );
    pPGW->m_bSortedCategories = false;
2) Insert your property values and property categories into each sublevel of the property tree using the same order which you want to see on the screen. The previous step turns off any sorting in the property grid.
