Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBSEAM-2589:
---------------------------------------------

Just to make clear: seam-gen cannot do anything about this since we just reads the order that Hibernate Entitymanager-Annotations return to us.

And Hibernate cannot do much because of what emmanuel explained about how the different VM's order the reflection.


To Dan: this has nothing to do with columns in the database, this is gen-ui which uses the existing JPA configuration, no database reverse engineering is in play here.

> 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.
