How to read a properties file in java in the original order?

Question

Below is what I tried when I to read a properties file and generate a Properties class in Java: 

Properties props = new Properties();

props.load(new FileInputStream(args[0]));

for (Enumeration e = props.propertyNames(); e.hasMoreElements();) {

}

The props.propertyName returns properties that are not in the order of the original properties file. Can anyone tell me how to properly read the properties file in an original order? 

Answer 1

Since it uses Hashtable, it’s not possible to obtain the order you have to implement your own Properties class with similar functionalities.
