I don't see that in javadoc. Is the order of @throws doclets important?

Intuitively, a remove() without a prev next() is nonsensical, it's not
a well formed operation, therefore it's does not deserve a
UnsupportedOperationException. It's a 400 bad request, not 501 Not
Implemented.

But I myself wrote lots of "void remove(){ throw new UOE(); }" , so
I'm not going to be serious about it:) Also I don't find it very
annoying to have to write that one liner for my iterators.
