/**
 * This annotation is used to specify the order in which the {@link ValueExtractorAnnotation} annotations
 * {@link CommandLineValue}, {@link PropertyValue}, {@link EnvironmentVariableValue},
 * {@link SystemPropertyValue}, {@link ImportedValue} and {@link DefaultValue} are processed.
 * It can specify the order for a certain field if placed on the field, or a global order if placed on the config class.
 * The annotations are processed top-down until a string value is found, i.e. the order is from the most important to the least important.
 * The {@code LoadingOrder} may only contain the aforementioned {@link ValueExtractorAnnotation} classes.

 * Usage: @LoadingOrder(value = {PropertyValue.class, CommandLineValue.class, DefaultValue.class})
