  Hi @deepak

  We designed permissions to be kept in a Dictionary. Unfortunately dictionaries in C# aren't designed for being able to be sorted. https://stackoverflow.com/a/7521383/7200126

  We can consider adding an order to permissions but currently, there is no order in permission groups.

  I can show you a workaround until we'll add that feature.

  • Go to your YourProjectNamePermissionDefinitionProvider in .Application.Contracts project and make a manual ordering like below.

  public override void Define(IPermissionDefinitionContext context)
  {
      // some other permission additions of your app
      // ...
      
      if (context is PermissionDefinitionContext definitionContext)
      {
          var ordered = definitionContext.Groups.OrderByDescending(...).ToList();
  
          definitionContext.Groups.Clear();
  
          foreach (var item in ordered)
          {
              definitionContext.Groups.Add(item.Key, item.Value);
          }
      }
  }
