When declaring a FactoryMethod put identifying parameters first.

For example, instead of this:

public Contact createContact(Country countryToBeCovered, String contactName);

do this:

public Contract createContact(String contactName, Country countryToBeCovered);

This is mostly for test code, where you may well be creating several different instances of the same object as part of a test fixture. Placing identifying parameters first helps to distinguish them visually a lot better than if they are at the end (or, worse, buried somewhere in the middle).
