How To: Hibernate creates a table with specific fields order

Dear Members

I have an Entity class (among others) declared in this way

Code:

@Entity
@Table(name = "articulo")
public class Articulo implements Serializable {

   private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

   private Long idArticulo;

   private String codigoArticulo;

   private String descripcionArticulo;

   private BigDecimal stockActualArticulo;

   private BigDecimal stockMinimoArticulo;

   private BigDecimal costoUnitarioArticulo;

   private BigDecimal totalValorizadoArticulo;

   private Medida medida;

   private LineaCategoria lineaCategoria;

Notice the order of the class's properties, the getters and setters are generated in the same order than each property with Eclipse and the getters are annotated with the respective annotation need it from javax.persistence.*.

Then Hibernate creates the respective table mapping for mysql , here no problem

But I did realize the follow, when I do desc articulo in MySQL I get

Code:

| Field                  |
|                        |
|------------------------+
|idArticulo              |
|codigoArticulo          |
|costoUnitarioArticulo   |
|descripcionArticulo     |
|stockActualArticulo     |
|stockMinimoArticulo     |
|totalValorizadoArticulo |
|idLineaCategoria        |
|idMedida                |

It has a complete different order than the order of the properties declared in the class, is normal this?

Exists an option to force Hibernate to respect the order of the properties of my class to be represented in a 100% in the same order in the Mysql's table?
