## What it is
A Prettier plugin that sorts import declarations in TypeScript and JavaScript files according to a user-defined regular expression order. It is configured via the prettier config file with options like importOrder, importOrderSeparation, and importOrderSortSpecifiers.

## Use cases
- sort imports in typescript files
- organize javascript import statements by custom order
- enforce consistent import ordering across a codebase
- group third-party and local imports with prettier
- sort import specifiers alphabetically
- auto-format import order in vue sfc files

## When to choose
- you already use Prettier and want deterministic, regex-configurable import ordering
- you want to group imports by path aliases like @core, @server, @ui
- you need to sort named specifiers within import statements

## When to avoid
- you don't use Prettier and only want import sorting
- you need ESLint-based import linting with autofix rather than formatting
- you need sorting of exports or other syntax beyond imports

- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: formatter, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, frontend
