Stephan Ewen commented on FLINK-1665:
-------------------------------------
You can always specify order the following way:
Instead of
{code}
data.groupBy("id").orderBy("name")
{code}
you can do
{code}
data.groupBy("id").orderBy("name.first", "name.last")
{code}
I feel that getting into order and annotations is a huge thing, for something
that has very good other solutions.
I'd rather see us fixing more fundamental things.
> Add optional annotations for POJOs to specify the order of fields

> Key: FLINK-1665
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1665
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: JobManager
> Affects Versions: 0.8.0, 0.9
> Reporter: Fabian Hueske
>
> The order of fields within a POJO is not well defined.
> We could provide an optional annotation such as {{@Position(int)}} to enable
> the definition of field orders.
> The order of fields is relevant when mapping data to POJOs such as when
> generating POJOs from CSV input, converting POJOs to tuples (for example for
> the expression API), or when sorting POJOs (see FLINK-1664).
