Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201606200002) Java: 1.8.0_92; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.92-b14 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_92-b14 System: Windows 10 version 10.0 running on amd64; Cp1252; en_CA (nb) User directory: C:\Users\Gili\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\dev Cache directory: C:\Users\Gili\AppData\Local\NetBeans\Cache\dev Repro steps: 1. Assuming that "static classes" are ordered before "classes" in Project -> properties -> formatting -> Java -> ordering -> Member sort order 2. Create the following Java file: public class Outer { public static interface First {} public void someMethod() {} public interface Second {} } 3. Notice that Netbeans is happy with the member ordering found above. 4. Now, add the "static" modified to "Second" 5. Notice that Netbeans prompts you to "Order Members" Expected behavior: interfaces, whether they contain the "static" modifier or not, should be treated consistently (be it non-static or static). Technically speaking, I believe that they should be treated as static as they do not (nor can they) reference the outer class.
