I don't know of any way to specify the sort order. The workaround we use,  
rather than numbering the property names, is to insert leading spaces in  
the property names. This causes them to be sorted according to number of  
leading spaces, but since HTML collapses whitespace to a single space the  
display still looks looks good.
