Q:

Java: What does "a method trails another method" really means?

I have met the text "doSomethind() method is modiffied to trail another method", and it is not very clear to me what does this means? 

Does it means that it is calling the "another method"?
Does it means it is overwriting or overridding the "another method"? 
Does it means that it is called by the "another method"?

I am really confused.

A:

"Method trailing" is not a defined term in Computer Science or Java. It appears that the person who wrote this text is using their own private terminology. You should ask them to find out.
My personal speculation would conclude in that:

The author means that the method is placed before another method in the source code; or
The author is refering to Method chaining
