Every time I write method in Java with more keywords than public void, every time I write it another way. Sometimes "static public void" sometimes "public static void" etc.
What is the best order (best practices) for these keywords?
[abstract/static] [final] [synchronized] [public/private/protected] [result_type] ???

There are four access modifiers used in java. They are public, private, protected, no modifer (declaring without an access modifer).
Mar 29, 2021. Access modifiers are object-oriented programming that is used to set the accessibility of classes, constructors, methods, and other members of Java. Using the access modifiers we can set the scope or accessibility of these classes, methods, constructors, and other members.
Java access modifiers are used to provide access control in java. Java provides access control through three keywords - private, protected and public. We are not required to use these access modifiers always, so we have another one namely “default access”, “package-private” or “no modifier”.
In theory it does not matter if you say public static final or final static public, but if you follow the usual convention, other people will able to read your code more easily. Here is the preferred order:
[ public | protected | private ]
static
abstract
synchronized
[ transient | volatile ]
final
native
strictfp
[ int | long | String | class | enum | interface etc. ]
