How can I customize the sorting of categories in a PropertyGrid?

If I set either of the following...

propertyGrid.PropertySort = PropertySort.Categorized; propertyGrid.PropertySort = PropertySort.CategorizedAlphabetical; 

... then the categories will be alphabetized. ("Alphabetical" would seem to apply to the properties within each category.) If I use PropertySort.NoSort, I lose categorization.

I'm populating my PropertyGrid with SelectObject, which is pretty easy:

this.propertyGrid1.SelectedObject = options; 

options is an instance of a class with suitably decorated properties:

    [CategoryAttribute("Category Title"),     DisplayName("Property Name"),     Browsable(true),     ReadOnly(false),     BindableAttribute(true),     DesignOnly(false),     DescriptionAttribute("...")]     public bool PropertyName {         get {             // ...         }          set {             // ...             this.OnPropertyChanged("PropertyName");         }     } 

I have a few dozen properties in half a dozen categories.

Is there some way I can adjust the category sort order while preserving my ease of use with SelectedObject?
