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
