# `sortRequiredPropsFirst`

By default, fields display in the order they appear in the API description.
The `sortRequiredPropsFirst` option moves required fields to the top of each schema section.

## Options

| Option | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| sortRequiredPropsFirst | boolean | Sort required schema properties before optional ones. Default: `false`. |

## Examples

The following example shows required properties first:

```yaml
openapi:
  sortRequiredPropsFirst: true
```
