Can I order the enum values in intellisense?

I have an eum type with 5 members. Is it possible to tell intellisense to order them the way I want? 

public enum numbers
{
    zero,
    one,
    two,
    three,
    four
}

Intelisense shows (in alpha):

four
one
three
two
zero

  • No you cant. But the Visual Studio team has considered the suggestion even though not exactly the way you would want it. But hey, its a start.
