Property sheet tab ordering and propertysets within a tab have inconsistent ordering.

When creating a propertysheet, I have multiple tabs much like the NetBeans editor has the tabs "Properties" "Binding" "Events" and "Code" tabs on it's property sheet when editing dialogs and jpanels etc. 

My problem is that I am not getting the tabs ordered consistently as I switch to different nodes in the Explorer view. I define them in a specific order and that is usually what I get...but not always. The same holds true for the property sets within a specific tab. They usually appear in tab in the the order I define them but not always. 

It seems that as I move around on different nodes on the explorer view and the tabs change then something is re-using some of the tabs and property sets instead of possibly creating them from scratch and when I select a node in the explorer view. It is a little erratic. 

For example, maybe I have "Node 1" in the Explorer. I create a Property Sheet for it that has tabs "A", "B", "C", and "D". I then move to Node 2 which only has tabs "A", "C", and "D" with the same properties in the tabs. I then move back to Node 1 and I then have the tabs "A", "C", "D", and "B". 

It is important to me to have the tabs and the property sets within the tabs displayed in a specific order. 

Is there any way to control this or flush the old sheets or something?

Thanks
