The order that you suggest is correct, but it isn't a matter of personal
preference. The CSS 2 recommendation specifies the order [1] as:
border: [border-width || border-style || color] | inherit
</snip>
The example above is the format I prefer, too, but the recommendation is
misrepresented. It states:
"A double bar (||) separates two or more options: one or more of them must
occur, in any order."

Of course, I also prefer the literals "black" and "white" to the hex values
because I never remember which is which in hex.
