Description

The PropertyAttribute page at https://github.com/nunit/docs/wiki/Property-Attribute says that properties of tests are not used by NUnit. That's not really true. Some standard properties like "Order" are used by NUnit. We should document that usage so users don't accidentally create properties that have an unexpected affect on how the test runs.

Research direction

Start with the PropertyAttribute page in the NUnit docs wiki and review its statement that test properties are not used by NUnit. Check the documented example of the standard Order property and identify the standard properties whose behavior needs explanation. Done means the page accurately describes those usages and warns users that such properties can affect test execution.
