Is there an accepted convention for the order of @property declaration attributes?

Question

I tend to declare my property attributes in this order: Writability, Setter Semantics, Atomicity

For example:

@property (readwrite, strong, nonatomic) NSString *foo;

I'm just wondering if there's a generally-accepted convention among Objective-C developers? Apple's docs seem to be silent on this.

Answer 1

No.

You will see code, even from Apple, with them declared in different orders. It makes no difference to the compiler, and since there are not a ton of them, it does not necessarily make the code any easier to read either.

Use whatever convention you like (including no-convention).
