### `order?: Array<string>`

The configuration of the special characters category order.

Special characters categories are displayed in the UI in the order in which they were registered. Using the `order` property allows to override this behaviour and enforce specific order. Categories not listed in the `order` property will be displayed in the default order below categories listed in the configuration.

```typescript
ClassicEditor
  .create( {
	plugins: [ SpecialCharacters, SpecialCharactersEssentials, ... ],
	specialCharacters: {
	  order: [
		'Text',
		'Latin',
		'Mathematical',
		'Currency',
		'Arrows'
	  ]
	}
  } )
  .then( ... )
  .catch( ... );
```
