Default setting up properties in Custom Properties Sets in Visio 2003

when setting up the properties, when completed, they always display in
alphbetical order, not in properties order (properties 1, properties 2, etc)

Quick response, great help. just a reminder that the sort key column should
be set for 'formula' for this to work.

Select the shape
menu Windows - Show Shapesheet
in the Custom Properties section each property has a SortKey value,
just mark the 1, 2, 3 etc for the order you want.

Paul, i replied too quickly. Once you have set the sortkey, how do you save
it? when i exit the ShapeSheet, the sortkey column resets to "No Formula".

I assume you are pressing enter after typing the value. If so and the
values are still not sticking then what diagram type is it and what
shapes?
