Suggestion

Support auto-import with alphabetized order by default

Use Cases

Currently, Typescript auto-import by adding the new module at the end. But it does not obey tslint rule: ordered-imports It will be better if typescript can auto-import with alphabetized order by default :)

Examples

import { B } from 'moduleB';
...
const a = new A(); // Ctrl+. -> Do you want to import A?

then

import { A, B } from 'moduleB'; // A is auto-imported in front of B
...
const a = new a();
...
classs ModuleA implements IModuleA { // Ctrl+. -> Do you want to import IModuleA?
...

then

import { IModuleA } from 'moduleA'; // moduleA is auto-imported above moduleB
import { A, B } from 'moduleB';
...
const a = new a();
...
class ModuleA implements IModuleA {
...

Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, etc.)
• This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.
