## Why is this an issue?

The Java Language Specification recommends listing modifiers in the following order:

1. Annotations
2. public
3. protected
4. private
5. abstract
6. static
7. final
8. transient
9. volatile
10. synchronized
11. native
12. default
13. strictfp

Not following this convention has no technical impact, but will reduce the code’s readability because most developers are used to the standard order.

### Noncompliant code example

    static public void main(String[] args) {   // Noncompliant
    }

### Compliant solution

    public static void main(String[] args) {   // Compliant
    }
