how to sort attributes in jmx console in order

[yangju]

I have many attributes in one of my mbeans. In jmx-console or web-console, I don't see any order of these attributes. Is there any way to order these attributes, for example, by names?

Thanks.

Afair, you can't do it with standard MBeans, but you can do it with XMBeans.
Have a look at the files in server//conf/xmdesc/

It seems to me this should really be a function of the client (i.e. the console in this case).

In full consequence: yes.
Many people use the JMX-console and you can give it a hint by using XMbean-Descirptors.
I think it is a good idea to always have the defaultAttributes and defaultOperations at the same position within the sorting.
