Description
Order of enum values according to the spec:
ALLOWED, REJECTED, UNDECIDED

Order of enum values that returned by values():
UNDECIDED, ALLOWED, REJECTED

Seems this is a specification problem for all enums, because their values are in alphabetic order in the API spec.

JCK checks the order of enums according to the following assertion of method values():
"Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared."

The declared order should be reflected in API spec.
Comments
I propose to close this issue as duplicate of 8167967 since for JCK test updates we have an additional issue (JCK-7307412)

It might be sufficient to cross-check that the array of Status instances returned from Status.values() method have the corresponding ordinal values as the index in the array.

Actually, javadoc does not provide them in declaration order. Declaration order refers to the order of the declarations in the *source* .java file. Javadoc sorts them alphabetically.

Here is the spec: http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/docs/api/java/io/ObjectInputFilter.Status.html which specifies the following declaration order: Enum Constant ALLOWED REJECTED UNDECIDED
