sort

public Map sort(Class type,

Description copied from interface: PropertySorter
Sort the properties of a bean type. The method will be called with the class type that contains all the properties and a Map that retains the order in which the elements have been added. The sequence in which elements are returned by an iterator defines the processing order of the properties. An implementation may create a different Map with similar semantic, add all elements of the original map and return the new one.

Specified by:
sort in interface PropertySorter
Parameters:
type - the bean class that contains all the properties
nameMap - the map to sort, key is the property name, value the PropertyDescriptor
Returns:
the sorted nameMap
