java – Class. Field order returned by getfields()

Class. The Javadoc of getfields () said: "the elements in the returned array are not sorted, and there is no specific order

Tips on how to determine the order? Is it possible that when I execute this method twice, I get fields in different order? In other words, for a given compiled class, is the order stable even between the compilation of the same source file?

Solution

It should be stable. For Oracle JVM, they are the order of announcement, but you should not rely on this

You should look for the name of the field (possibly declaring a class) rather than the location
