Add xSPUserProfileProperty resource about sharepointdsc

[camiloborges]

I am on it

[camiloborges]

hey. what about order and grouping(can't remember how it is called in CA)?

[BrianFarnhill]

Good point - now sure how we include this. You got suggestions or ideas? Im pretty sure group is just another string property so that should be fine, but I forget about the ordering stuff.

[camiloborges]

Pretty sure I've got a script that adds the property, saves it, then retrieves all properties and reorder them. I am just a little worried that DSC might not like that as I think we could end up with another loop as property index might be changed by another property.
ie: there is a default property p26(A) I add another one to p26(B).
B is now p26, A is p27.
if I add C as p26 we have
C - p26
B - p27
A - p28.

I will code it up and we test in your super dupa sexy environment

Yea I'm inclined to park the ordering to another day (maybe we do a separate resource to define the order of all properties so we avoid a loop like that)

[camiloborges]

could / should property order be another resource?

Lets call it now - yes, sort order of properties should be a separate resource - leave it out of this :)
