@JsonPropertyOrder annotation use to define the order of JSON properties while serialization from Java to JSON. This annotation always use on class level.

@JsonPropertyOrder on Class Level

@JsonPropertyOrder({"firstName","lastName","rollNumber"})
public class StudentDetail
{	
		@JsonProperty(value = "id")
		private int rollNumber;
		
		@JsonProperty(value = "firstName")
		private String first_name;
		
		@JsonProperty(value = "lastName")
		private String last_name;
}

Here you will see complete example of JSON properties name change and define order of  JSON  propertis.

Complete Example

@JsonPropertyOrder({"firstName","lastName","rollNumber"})
public class StudentDetail
{	
		@JsonProperty(value = "id")
		private int rollNumber;
		
		@JsonProperty(value = "firstName")
		private String first_name;
		
		@JsonProperty(value = "middleName")
		private String middle_name;
		
		@JsonProperty(value = "lastName", index=1)
		private String last_name;

		public StudentDetail()
		{
			
		}
		//Getter and Setter

                //toString() method
}

Code to convert  Java object to JSON.

public class JsonPropertiesOrder {
	public static void main(String [] args)
	{
	StudentDetail student=new StudentDetail();
	student.setFirst_name("Saurabh");
	student.setRollNumber(25);
	student.setLast_name("Gupta");
	System.out.println(student);
	try {

		// ObjectMapper new instance
		ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();

		// configure Object mapper for pretty print
		objectMapper.configure(SerializationFeature.INDENT_OUTPUT, true);

		// writing to console, can write to any output stream such as file
		String json =objectMapper.writeValueAsString(student);
		System.out.println(json);

	} catch (JsonMappingException ex) {
		ex.printStackTrace();
	} catch (JsonGenerationException ex) {
		ex.printStackTrace();
	} catch (IOException ex) {
		ex.printStackTrace();
	}
	}
}

Output

StudentDetail [rollNumber=25, firstName=Saurabh, lastName=Gupta]
{
  "firstName" : "Saurabh",
  "lastName" : "Gupta",
  "id" : 25
}
