Ordering of items in Intellisense

Is there any way to control ordering of items in intellisense via
attributes?

For example, I have the following enum:

public enum ESeverity
{
Acceptable,
Low,
Medium,
High
};

In intellisense, this gets displayed as:

Acceptable
High
Low
Medium

in alphabetic order.

This is annoying since I would prefer to see the order as I defined it
in the code which is reflective of the order it makes sense to clients
in.

Thanks,

Ken,

No, there is no way to handle the ordering of these things through
attributes. However, it's a good suggestion.
 
On the same lines, it'd be nice if I could tell IntelliSense to ignore case
when ordering the items in the list.
I declare my private fields with lower case and public properties with upper
case, but they don't show up one after the other. I like typing ignoring the
case and using intellisense to fix it before the word ends (VB-coder
addiction), but having to hold the arrow keys too long slows me down a lot.
Ex:
private string myProp;
pulic string MyProp
{ get {return myProp;} }

I'd like those to be listed one right after the other.

Just a pet peeve.
