How to set order of Option ID/Name for Product

[joanstead]

I know that there are lots of topics about this, but they don't say how to setup the order of the order id/name for a product.

For example: Product is a Baby Bib
Option ID/Name: Gender of Baby: Drop Down Menu:boy, girl, unknown
Option ID/Name: Color of Bib: Drop Down Menu:red, blue, white
Option ID/Name: Text on Bib: Text Box
Option ID/Name: Color of Text: Text Box
Etc.

I entered in the data in the order that I want it to appear, but oscmax is putting all the option ID/Names in ABC order like this:

Color of Bib
Color of Text
Gender of Baby
Text on Bib

The options listed in the drop down menu are in the right order, but it's the Options themselves that are not in the order that I entered them in--they are always in ABC order. Is there a way to change this?

Thank you.
