Is there a specific order for keywords?

Hi Yves

I guess there is no fix rules on the order of the modifiers. I was running this main method in my IDE (IntelliJ IDEA):

public class Main {
    final static public void main(String[] args){
        try {
            CSVPrinter printer = new CSVPrinter(System.out, CSVFormat.EXCEL);
            printer.printRecord("Mooracles", 5, "Loved it");
            printer.printRecord("John", 4, "Can be better, okay?");
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

And that code is still works just fine despite, as you can see, it does not use the traditional order of public, static, final. One big warning here that never ever you move void from its original place!! Because void is not modifier, void is a type that is must be stand before the methods name!!

Yes there is some initiative and honestly I think this is also best practice to use commonly used order of modifiers. Such as mentioned here:

1. Access modifier (public / private / protected)
2. abstract
3. static
4. final
5. transient
6. volatile
7. default
8. synchronized
9. native
10. strictfp

Although it is okay not to use that recommended order it will be best practice to use them. It is common usage so it will make other developer to read your code for better collaboration.

I hope this can help a little

Ok thank you! I should respect practices for a cleaner code. It would be more readable
