<p>If you have a class member that is <code>static</code> and <code>public</code>. Would you write <code>static public</code> or <code>public static</code>? I know they are the same. But is there some recommendation / best practice for writing this?</p>

I personally would go with public static because it's more important that it's public than that it's static.
And check this:

As well as this:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/classes.doc.html
(These two links are for Java, but the concept is the same)
Short version: "public static" is recommended and is far more common.
