/**
* <p> Controls the ordering of fields and properties in a class. </p>
*
* <h3>Usage </h3>
*
* <p> <tt> @XmlAccessorOrder </tt> annotation can be used with the following
* program elements:</p>
*
* <ul>
* <li> package</li>
* <li> a top level class </li>
* </ul>
*
* <p> See "Package Specification" in <tt>javax.xml.bind</tt> package javadoc for
* additional common information.</p>
*
* <p>The effective {@link XmlAccessOrder} on a class is determined
* as follows:
*
* <ul>
* <li> If there is a <tt>@XmlAccessorOrder</tt> on a class, then
* it is used. </li>
* <li> Otherwise, if a <tt>@XmlAccessorOrder </tt> exists on one of
* its super classes, then it is inherited (by the virtue of
* {@link Inherited})
* <li> Otherwise, the <tt>@XmlAccessorOrder</tt> on the package
* of the class is used, if it's there.
* <li> Otherwise {@link XmlAccessOrder#UNDEFINED}.
* </ul>
*
* <p>This annotation can be used with the following annotations:
* {@link XmlType}, {@link XmlRootElement}, {@link XmlAccessorType},
* {@link XmlSchema}, {@link XmlSchemaType}, {@link XmlSchemaTypes},
* , {@link XmlJavaTypeAdapter}. It can also be used with the
* following annotations at the package level: {@link XmlJavaTypeAdapter}.
