The Parameters dialog enables you to define the parameters an operation has. The parameter list is reproduced in code in the order the parameters appear in the parameters list, so use the Up and Down buttons to move parameters into their required positions. Additionally, you can select the Add new to end checkbox to force new parameters to appear at the end of the list instead of the top.
Tip: Set the amount of parameter detail to display in a specific diagram using the Show Parameter Detail drop-down list on the Diagram Properties dialog. The setting applies only to the current diagram. The default is to show the type only.
