This release might move some imported items withtype around. This is a breaking formatting change (that only affects TypeScript and Flow), but only in the form of that you need to autofix your files.

In previous versions,type specifiers came first:

import{typeB,a}from"a";export{typeB,a}from"a";

Now, all specifiers are sorted alphabetically, regardless oftype:

import{a,typeB}from"a";export{a,typeB}from"a";

Motivation:

You might import a class for a type annotation using:

import{typeMyClass,coolFunction,}from"example";

Later, you also start instantiating that class in the same file (new MyClass()), so you removetype.

Previously, this resulted in a messy diff due to the class moving:

 import {-  type MyClass,   coolFunction,+  MyClass, } from "example";

Now, the sorting with thetype keyword would be:

import{coolFunction,typeMyClass,}from"example";

Now there’s no reordering diff, just thetype keyword being removed:

 import {   coolFunction,-   type MyClass,+   MyClass, } from "example";

This is consistent with [“Why sort onfrom?”][sort-from].

Thanks to Jake Bailey (@​jakebailey) for reporting and suggesting the fix!
