 * Commit order type persistence property values.

 * <p>JPA persistence property Usage:
 *
 * <p><code>properties.add(PersistenceUnitProperties.PERSISTENCE_CONTEXT_COMMIT_ORDER, CommitOrderType.Changes);</code>
 * <p>Property values are case-insensitive.
 *
 * Defines the ordering of updates and deletes of a set of the same entity type during a commit or flush operation.
 * The commit order of entities is defined by their foreign key constraints, and then sorted alphabetically.\
 * <p>
 * By default the commit of a set of the same entity type is not ordered.
 * <p>
 * Entity type commit order can be modified using a DescriptorCustomizer and the ClassDescriptor.addConstraintDependency() API.
 * Commit order can also be controlled using the EntityManager.flush() API.
