See https://github.com/etiennestuder/java-ordered-properties for a complete implementation that allows to read/write properties files in a well-defined order.

OrderedProperties properties = new OrderedProperties();
properties.load(new FileInputStream(new File("~/some.properties")));

The OrderedProperties class will solve your requirement.

Kind regards, Etienne
