Order matters?

[lawrencegrass]

I'm trying to get the config to not have the generator re-order the properties when creating the schema. In other words, maintain the order the fields are declared in the POJO.

Any guidance would be awesome.

Hi @lawrencegrass,

Fortunately, this had been raised before in #92, i.e., yes: this is possible.

If your compiler happens to honour the declaration order, then you can disable the property sorting with this:

configBuilder.forTypesInGeneral()
        .withPropertySorter((_prop1, _prop2) -> 0);

The standard sorting logic is defined in the PropertySortUtils class, in case you want to apply some other sorting behaviour.

Additionally, the JacksonModule supports to sort an object's properties according to its @JsonPropertyOrder annotation, if the JacksonOption.RESPECT_JSONPROPERTY_ORDER was provided
