Annotation Type Order

    @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
    @Target(value={TYPE,METHOD,FIELD})
    public @interface Order

Annotation that defines ordering. The value is optional, and represents order value as defined in the `Ordered` interface. Lower values have higher priority. The default value is `Ordered.LOWEST_PRECEDENCE`, indicating lowest priority (losing to any other specified order value).

NOTE: Annotation-based ordering is supported for specific kinds of components only, e.g. for annotation-based AspectJ aspects. Spring container strategies, on the other hand, are typically based on the `Ordered` interface in order to allow for configurable ordering of each instance.
