Force alphabetic sorting for Enumeration Property?

[Martin H.]

Hi,

I've got this problem with an enumeration of a property of a UserControl.

The following code shows the problem:

Public Enum TestEnum As Integer
Arthur = 0
Zachary = -1
End Enum

Public Property FirstName As TestEnum
....
End Property

If I assign a value to the property FirstName in code, then the first
names are sorted alphabetically. But if I assign a value by using the
'Properties' window the IDE sorts by values and not alphabetically. How
can I force alphabetic sorting?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Best regards,

Martin
