This rule lets you enforce a desired modifier sort order.

• When this rule is enabled and the associated options are set to a list of modifiers, prefer the specified ordering.
• When this rule is not enabled, no specific modifier order is preferred.

Options

The associated options for this rule let you specify the desired modifier order for C# and Visual Basic, respectively.

• csharp_preferred_modifier_order
• visual_basic_preferred_modifier_order

For information about configuring options, see Option format.

// csharp_preferred_modifier_order = public,private,protected,internal,file,static,extern,new,virtual,abstract,sealed,override,readonly,unsafe,required,volatile,async
class MyClass
{
    private static readonly int _daysInYear = 365;
}

Suppress a warning

If you want to suppress only a single violation, add preprocessor directives to your source file to disable and then re-enable the rule.

#pragma warning disable IDE0036
// The code that's violating the rule is on this line.
#pragma warning restore IDE0036

To disable the rule for a file, folder, or project, set its severity to none in the configuration file.

[*.{cs,vb}]
dotnet_diagnostic.IDE0036.severity = none

To disable all of the code-style rules, set the severity for the category Style to none in the configuration file.

[*.{cs,vb}]
dotnet_analyzer_diagnostic.category-Style.severity = none
