How to set the order of a PCell's Parameters?

In Cadence 5, the order of the pcells parameters in the Create Instance form was set by the order of the parameters in the pcDefinePCell function. However, using the same code in Cadence 6.1.5 results in the parameters being in a seemingly arbitrary order in the Create Instance form. Has anyone experienced this or found a work around?

    I've not looked into the precise issue you're talking about, but the best solution is to create CDF for the cell, and then you can have the parameters in any order you like - as well as having more meaningful prompts.

    I'd say it's fairly uncommon to have pcells without CDF.
