   TemplateID and TemplateGroupID

   TemplateGroupID: Specifies the identifier for the category of the item template.

   TemplateID: Specifies the identifier of an item template that is categorized by templategroupid elements into an item template group. If the. vstemplate file omits the TemplateID element, the Name element is used as the identifier for this template.

   PS: The author did not find the project system registration directory in VS2013, testing the function is not possible. Use grouping to refer to previous experience "vs Custom Project Template: [4] Grouping of custom templates"

   How do I set the template sort order? SortOrder

   The Sordorder value must be a multiple of 10.

   In the New Project dialog box, a template with a low sort order value appears before a template with a high sort order value.

   When you change SortOrder to 20, the sort order is advanced, if the same sort exists, and then sorted alphabetically.
