> For .properties file manipulation, I have a use case that requires something like "addKeyAfterKey(String keyToAdd, String afterKey)".  This allows a property to be written after some other property when saving.
> I have extended PropertiesConfigurationLayout to accomplish this new behavior.  Unfortunately, the save method iterates over a private member (layoutData), so I have no control over the final file order.
> An easy fix for my use case would be to change line 564 of PropertiesConfigurationLayout.java to use the public getKeys() method instead of layoutData.keySet():
> {noformat}
> FROM: for (String key : layoutData.keySet())
> TO:   for (String key : getKeys())
> {noformat}
> Then I could override getKeys() to return the required order for saving.
