WebFilter ordering in WebHttpHandlerBuilder only works on instances [SPR-15074]

[spring-projects-issues]

Stéphane Nicoll opened SPR-15074 and commented

in WebHttpHandlerBuilder, WebFilter instances are ordered using AnnotationAwareOrderComparator. That will only work if the ordering is set on the class itself.

The following will be ignored

@Configuration
public class MyConfig {
  
   @Bean @Order(42)
   public WebFilter myFilter() { ... }

}

There is an ignored test in the spring-boot-web-reactive project that reproduces this behaviour
