Get each entry of Enum type using foreach (C#)

Consider the following code in C#: enum Alignment : sbyte { Left = -1, Center = 0, Right = 1 } static void Main() { Console.WriteLine("Enum Alignment"); Console.WriteLine("____________________"); foreach (var value in Enum.GetValues(typeof(Alignment))) { Console.WriteLine(

quot;{value} = {(sbyte)value}"); } Console.ReadKey(); } Does anyone can please explain why the output for this enum type is the following: Enum Alignment ____________________ Center = 0 Right = 1 Left = -1 and not as defined as, Left = -1 Center = 0 Right = 1 Is there any method that ensure that enum base values are print in ascending order?
