Should there be any specific order in which I should write the following for a Java main method?
public static void main()
In other words, can I re-shuffle public, static, void in any order?
Why or why not?

voidis the return type, so it must go last. The others can be shuffled (see section 8.4 of the Java Language Specification for more details on this), but by convention the access modifier usually goes before most of the other method modifiers, except for annotations which usually go first (again, just by convention).
