The solution is to not rely on reflection and to parse the bytecode using by example ASM : see http://asm.ow2.org/

I think you'd still need to sort based on line numbers, which requires debugging information which is not always available.

The only reliable way I know is to use a JSR 269 compiler plugin. Members are guaranteed to be in source order over there. (But this still suffers from poor IDE support, AFAICS.)
