@alexrp Yes, the order is up to how the OS enumerates files and directories. If you want to set a specific order for your examples, you can set the <ExampleOrder> MSBuild property in your example.

i.e:

<ExampleOrder>5</ExampleOrder>

[alexrp]

What do you think about sorting by name first and then by ExampleOrder?

I suspect a lot of people would like alphabetical sorting anyway, and maintaining ExampleOrder values across multiple projects to achieve that is a bit of a pain, especially in an evolving project. People who want a specific ordering could still override it as before.
