Ashish Kulkarni commented on JBSEAM-2589:
-----------------------------------------

Hi guys,

There should be some setting within seam-gen that should allow us to specify whether we want the natural order of the fields or alphabetical order.

This will take away the "moodiness" of the OS and VM.

Most databases define the tables and columns within metadata tables. These metadata tables can be used to find the actual column order.

This can be added to the Dialect class and overridden within individual Dialect classes such as PostgreSQLDialect.

Best Regards,

Ashish.

> When I generate the xhtml files from existing entities, then the entry fields will be displayed in alphabetical order of the entity properties and not in the order of declaration. 
> For rapid prototyping it would be desirable, if the fields would appear in the order of declaration. 
> Since the fields in the auto generated database table are in the the order of declaration, this should be possible for gen-ui as well.
