Yes, you can do it using the manage_addProperty method from dtml (or from
Python/External Methods). In the same vein you can change them
programmatically.

Keep them in order in what way? In the propertysheet? Then that's the only
way. If you make your own form to edit the properties you might either call
them directly, one by one, or gather them in a list, sort it, and then
display them.

Hope this makes sense
