The input stream is not properly closed as far as I can see.
The OrderedProperties class will solve your requirement.
The question is 3.5 years old.
Maybe it took him so long...
I am more concerned with the usefulness of this approach. Properties
are simply unordered and I think no special semantic should be applied
to that order. This is fragile. If order is needed it is much better
to choose property names accordingly and this is also what most people
seem to do.
foo.bar.name.2=World
foo.bar.name.1=Hello
foo.bar.name.3=!
If it gets fancier than that then maybe properties are not the proper too=
