Missorted modifiers

Reports declarations whose modifiers are not in the canonical preferred order (as stated in the Java Language Specification).

Example:

  class Foo {
    native public final void foo();
  }

After the quick-fix is applied:

  class Foo {
    public final native void foo();
  }

Locating this inspection

By ID

Can be used to locate inspection in e.g. Qodana configuration files, where you can quickly enable or disable it, or adjust its settings.

MissortedModifiers

Via Settings dialog

Path to the inspection settings via IntelliJ Platform IDE Settings dialog, when you need to adjust inspection settings directly from your IDE.

Settings or Preferences | Editor | Inspections | Java | Code style issues

Use the inspection settings to:

toggle the reporting of misplaced annotations: (annotations with ElementType.TYPE_USE not directly before the type and after the modifier keywords, or other annotations not before the modifier keywords). When this option is disabled, any annotation can be positioned before or after the modifier keywords. Modifier lists with annotations in between the modifier keywords will always be reported.
specify whether the ElementType.TYPE_USE annotation should be positioned directly before a type, even when the annotation has other targets specified.

Here you can find the description of settings available for the Missorted modifiers inspection, and the reference of their default values.
