On my ToDo list is a request where the control order may be supplied in
Property. The only exception will be that Menus, StatusBar and ToolBar
must be first. And controls in Table may not be ordered.
I can't promise when this will happen but I hope to get it done in the
next couple of releases.

One problem is that I don't know how to manipulate the TreeView and
that's why it is always rebuilding. I've tried inserting and deleting
nodes (indexes) without success. Also the Project View is just a
snapshot, if you will, of the controls. Property and Design really 'run
the show' and I don't currently plan to change that. When I learn how to
control the content order of the Project Tree withuot rebuilding it
every time, I could use your idea as an alternate mechanism to manually
updating Property. In other words, I could assign the attribute in
Property based on what you did in Project View.
Thanks for the idea,
