Oliver Heger commented on CONFIGURATION-636:
--------------------------------------------
Sounds doable. I will have a look soon.
> Allow a user-defined order in the PropertiesConfigurationLayout.save method.

> Project: Commons Configuration
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Format
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Reporter: Tim Lark
>
> For .properties file manipulation, I have a use case that requires something
> like "addKeyAfterKey(String keyToAdd, String afterKey)". This allows a
> property to be written after some other property when saving.
> I have extended PropertiesConfigurationLayout to accomplish this new
> behavior. Unfortunately, the save method iterates over a private member
> (layoutData), so I have no control over the final file order.
> An easy fix for my use case would be to change line 564 of
> PropertiesConfigurationLayout.java to use the public getKeys() method instead
> of layoutData.keySet():
> {noformat}
> FROM: for (String key : layoutData.keySet())
> TO: for (String key : getKeys())
> {noformat}
> Then I could override getKeys() to return the required order for saving.
