@@ -44,3 +44,14 @@ After executing a Geode query or calling `region.get`,
you can use the following
- `toJSONByteArray`. Reads a PdxInstance and returns a JSON byte array.
For more information on using the JSONFormatter, see the Java API
documentation for `org.apache.geode.pdx.JSONFormatter`.

+# Sorting Behavior of Serialized JSON Fields
+
+By default, Geode serialization creates a unique pdx typeID for each
unique JSON document, even if the
+only difference between the JSON documents is the order in which their
fields are specified.
+
+If you prefer that JSON documents which differ only in the order in which
their fields are specified
+map to the same typeID, set the property
`gemfire.pdx.mapper.sort-json-field-names` to `true`. This
+tells the system to sort the JSON fields prior to serialization, allowing
the system to identify
+matching entries, and helps reduce the number of pdx typIDs that are
generated by the serialization

> There is the possibility that same JSON document can create multiple pdxType
> ids, if different JSON docs contain same fields in different order. Thus sort
> those field while creating the pdxType id. Introduce system property to
> enable this feature.
