Order of Parameters to a function

Suppose I have a function in C++ which is taking multiple parameters so what should be the order of parameters.

e.g. 

class Date
{
//heavy class
};

func(int, std::string, Date, ...)

Just curious is there any convention to pass parameters depending upon datatype.

I got this link in stackoverflow, but still want to check if there any more info on this - Conventions for order of parameters in a function

No there isn't.

Note that C++ doesn't even specify the order in which function parameters are evaluated and passed to the function, although the evaluation of arguments is sequenced. So writing something like func(cheap_function_that_might_throw_an_exception(), expensive_function()) may not necessarily be an optimisation.

Your best bet is to be consistent in your application.
