I have found more information when trying to google the other way around. Like JbEvain pointed out, it is confirmed that there is no way to control the order in which the compiler outputs members in CIL classes. This even pertains to XmlSerializer

A number of interesting posts have posted here:

On that topic, I found that in fact to have reliable ordering (In .NET 2.0, you can also “explicitly“ control this using the XmlElementAttribute.Order)[pluralsight-training.net/community/blogs/tewald/archive/2006/04/… and others

This should give a good background to this discussion. It now really depends on what the original poster needed this information for whether there can even be a solution, and if so, to find a route to achieving that goal.
