> Key: MCHECKSTYLE-356
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-356
> Project: Maven Checkstyle Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: checkstyle:checkstyle
> Reporter: Jagadish Prasath Ramu
> Priority: Major
>
> By default, the report form checkstyle prints the errors as it is found from
> beginning to end of file i.e.,
>
> e.g:
> Line 5: Unused import
> Line 10: Missing space etc.,
>
> Instead, it would be better if the report is printed in the reverse order
> e.g:
> Line 10: Missing space etc.,
> Line 5: Unused import.
>
> As we fix the issues one by one, we end up changing the code and the line
> number changes. It results in missing the exact line number in which the
> remaining errors has occurred. So, we end up running the checkstyle multiple
> times. Instead, if there is an option to print the results in descending
> order (of a file's line number), it might help to avoid this inconvenience.
