Method Summary
`Map` | `sort(Class type, Map keyedByFieldKey)` Sort the fields of a type.

Method Detail

### sort

    Map sort(Class type,
             Map keyedByFieldKey)

  Sort the fields of a type. The method will be called with the class type that contains all the fields and a Map that retains the order in which the elements have been added. The sequence in which elements are returned by an iterator defines the processing order of the fields. An implementation may create a different Map with similar semantic, add all elements of the original map and return the new one.

  Parameters:
    `type` - the class that contains all the fields
    `keyedByFieldKey` - a Map containing a `FieldKey` as key element and a `Field` as value.
  Returns:
    a Map with all the entries of the original Map
