In Spring Boot you can add this behaviour globally by adding the following to your Application entry point class:

  @Bean
  public Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder objectMapperBuilder() {

    Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder builder = new Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder();
    builder.featuresToEnable(MapperFeature.SORT_PROPERTIES_ALPHABETICALLY);

    return builder;
  }
