Emmanuel Bernard commented on JBSEAM-2589:
------------------------------------------

The reason was consistency across VM and even VM runs especially when SQL is overridden (and parameter order matters). Basically depending on the VM, the compiler and its mood, you do not have access to the order of declaration.
That sucks. One possibility would be to declare some order through a specific bean level annotation. Not very sexy.

> 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.
