sort-named-imports

Ensures named specifiers within a single import statement are sorted. Can compare alphabetically or by line length.

• Category: Plugin (built-in)
• Default: off

Options: { type?: 'alphabetical' | 'line-length'; order?: 'asc' | 'desc'; ignoreCase?: boolean; ignoreAlias?: boolean }

Config (both forms accepted):

pluginRules: { 'sort-named-imports': ['warn', { type: 'alphabetical' }] }
// or
pluginRules: { 'pickier/sort-named-imports': ['warn', { type: 'alphabetical' }] }

Examples

Before:

import { a, m, z } from 'x'

After:

import { a, m, z } from 'x'

Best practices

• Use ignoreAlias: true if you frequently alias names and want sorting by the alias instead
• Keep type and value specifiers separate when possible for clarity
• Prefer consistent casing and naming across modules to maximize sorting stability
