Annotation Interface Order

@Target({FIELD,METHOD,TYPE}) @Retention(RUNTIME) @Documented @API(status=STABLE, since="5.9") public @interface Order
@Order is an annotation that is used to configure the order in which the annotated element (i.e., field, method, or class) should be evaluated or executed relative to other elements of the same category.

When used with @RegisterExtension or @ExtendWith, the category applies to extension fields. When used with MethodOrderer.OrderAnnotation, the category applies to test methods. When used with ClassOrderer.OrderAnnotation, the category applies to test classes.

If @Order is not explicitly declared on an element, the DEFAULT order value will be assigned to the element.

      int value
      The order value for the annotated element (i.e., field, method, or class).

      Elements are ordered based on priority where a lower value has greater priority than a higher value. For example, Integer.MAX_VALUE has the lowest priority.
