A Prettier plugin that sorts import declarations according to a configurable regular-expression-based order while preserving side-effect import ordering. It is a maintained fork of @trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports with extra features like combining imports from the same source and grouping type imports.

Use cases

• sort javascript imports with prettier
• organize import statements in typescript projects
• group type imports separately from value imports
• keep side-effect imports in their original order while sorting others
• combine duplicate imports from the same module
• enforce a consistent import order across a codebase

When to choose

• you already use Prettier and want automatic, consistent import ordering
• you need fine-grained control over import group order via regex patterns
• your codebase has side-effect imports whose order must not change
• you work with TypeScript and want type imports grouped separately

When to avoid

• you don't use Prettier and want a standalone import sorter
• you need ESLint-based import linting with autofix rather than formatting
• you need sorting for languages other than JavaScript/TypeScript
