How is the order decided in displaying Custom Type Properite

[bisana]

Hi All
    I have a custom Type defined which have around Fifteen properties defined
After appling documents with the created CustomType, and when  I check the document properies I could see all this Custom Type properties, but not in the order which is there in Model file.
Then I thought naming of property has effect, I strted naming in alhpabetical sequence, this also is not having the desired result.
What should I do to control  how the propery is displayed
Advice requested
Thanks

You control the order of properties in the form definition.    If there's no form definition then the order is not defined.

Thanks your reply was helpful to narrow the search
I solve it by creating form definition by adding

  <config evaluator="node-type" condition="sc:legaldept">
      <forms>
     <form>
         <field-visibility>     
      <show id="cm:name" />
      <show id="cm:title" />
           <show id="cm:description" />              
       <!– Metadata for  custom content type–>
      <show id="sc:lddoctype"/>
      <show id="sc:nameofpartyone"/>
      <show id="sc:nameofpartytwo"/>
      <show id="sc:nameofpartythree"/>         
         </field-visibility>
     </form>
    </forms>
   </config>
