I have been struggling with dumping a list<T> as a grid

I have a List<T> that consists of a variable number of class objects with properties. The List<T> initializes as expected with N objects - and if I debug the List<T> the properties are all there for each.

But, When I Dump() the list, the properties do not come out in the order of declaration. Is there a way to be sure that properties in the grid will match to the declaration order?

For example:

[Serializable]
 **public class YsListMe : List<**Y**>**
{
}

**public class Y**
{
public string Prop1{ get; set; }

    public string Prop1Label { get; set; } = "";

public string Prop2 { get; set; }

    public string Prop2Label { get; set; } ="";

}

var dt= new Y()
{
 Prop1="10";
  Prop1Label="foo1";
  Prop2="1000";
 Prop2Label="foo2";
}

comes out as:

10, 0, foo1, foo2

when I expected it to be
10, foo1, 0, foo2

Is the order of assignment in the constructor to blame? If I do this instead, for example, will this generate the order of items ?

var dt= new Y()
{
  // values
  Prop1="10";
  Prop2="1000";
  // labels
  Prop1Label="foo1";
  Prop2Label="foo2";
 }
