property order in subclass

Say I have 2 schemas a.json and b.json that generate classes A and B. In b.json I “inherit” a.json using the “extends” mechanism.

In the generated classes A and B there is a JsonPropertyOrder annotation that specifies the correct property order; however, when serializing, B’s properties appear before A’s properties in the resulting JSON.

Is there a way to make Jackson serialize the super class properties before the subclass?

Without the PropertyOrder annotation, Jackson does the least surprising thing

IMO it’s great that the generated @JsonPropertyOrder preserves the order of the properties in the schema (I’ve tested with sourceType=yamlschema). That allows an ordering that is relevant to the doman.

Of course, but if you read all the discussion form the start, you’ll see that it’s about the order of properties when inheritance is involved.
