public static readonly OR public readonly static???

[Neal]

I tell ya, for a language that has such strict formatting such as the braces issue why the heck can't they standardize whether static becomes before or after the scope? I can have both public static readonly PropertyName and public readonly static PropertyName. Sloppy!

They are all Modifiers (C# Reference) and can be applied in any order.

Any imposed order would be arbitrary, so I guess they decided not to worry. I take my cue from VB, which does format for you and puts Shared before ReadOnly, so I always put 'public' or the like first, then 'static' and then 'readonly'.
