What order should you put CSS properties in? [duplicate]

Question

Is there a correct order to put your CSS properties in? I've never been told to put my properties in a certain order. I guess it's personal preference?

Server side languages have various standards you can code to. Are there standards for CSS?

I tend to do:

.element
{
    /* display: */
    /* position:, top:, right:, bottom:, left: */
    /* width:, height: */
    /* margin:, padding: */
    /* color:, font: */
    /* background: */
    /* border:, border:radius: */
    /* z-index: */
}

Answer 1

Though there is no standard around it. And probably that's how a declarative DSL should be.
