How to Order Revit Parameters  

Step 1

- Rename the parameter that is directly below where you want to add your
parameter. Add an asterisks at the beginning of its name. Hit the Apply button.
 
Step 2 – Add your new parameter naming it exactly the same name as the one you
just renamed but with a number appended to the end it. Hit the Apply button.
 
Step 3 - Rename the new parameter to anything you like.
 
Step 4 – Take the asterisks off of the end of the first parameter. Hit the Apply button.
If you are working on a family in which you haven’t renamed any of the parameters
since you originally created them, then you can dispense with adding the asterisks in
Step 1 above. However, once you have renamed a parameter or two, the ordering of
new parameters becomes somewhat unpredictable.
 
*Adding the asterisks in Step 1 works like a skeleton key opening up space in between the parameters above and below.
