Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-5492:
-----------------------------------------
The order is the order it is in the PDF, which can be quite weird. You can get
sorted text when you use the flag (not sure if this output is useful).
[^sample-sorted.txt]
For tables you should try a tool like Tabula.
> The order of text extracted from PDF by PDFTextStripper is incorrect.
