is there a standard practice re order of elements in writing a class?
eg
class definition
constructor(s)
Properties
Methods

The language itself enforces no such restriction. And so probably every
programmer has its own slightly different standard.

Whatever order you use it will always have disadvantages in certain
cases. At the end the code should be readable and maintainable, no more
no less. Enforcing an order based on the object type will not improve
this in general. E.g. splitting fields and related properties (if auto
properties are not suitable) is counterproductive. The same applies to
other closely related class members.

The compiler does not care.

But I think most use one of these:

fields & properties
constructors
methods

and:

fields
constructors
properties
methods
