If you ran this code:
private enum FieldWidths
{
CustomerNumber = 5,
OrderNumber = 10,
City = 30,
State = 2,
Zip = 11
}
. . .
int[] vals = (int[])Enum.GetValues(typeof(FieldWidths));
string[] names = Enum.GetNames(typeof(FieldWidths));
...you might expect (I did, anyway) that the resulting arrays would look like this:
vals: 5, 10, 30, 2, 11
names: "CustomerNumber", "OrderNumber", "City", "State", "Zip"
What you would get, though, is:
vals: 2, 5, 10, 11, 30
names: "State", "CustomerNumber", "OrderNumber", "Zip", "City"
...because the arrays returned by Enum.GetValues and Enum.GetNames are sorted by the values in the enumeration.
I "reflectored" a bit, and there doesn't seem to be a way to get the values from an enum in the order that they were specified, so I'll stop trying to do that.
