Description

"Sort the order within each group in alphabetical manner based on import path"

That's the current way... what If I wanted something like this..


import React from 'react';
import CompA from './zecomp.js
import CompB from './abigcomp.com

but sorting based on path gives me


import React from 'react';
import CompB from './abigcomp.com
import CompA from './zecomp.js

Research direction
Investigate the current sorting logic in the import order rule and determine how to add an option for sorting by variable name. Look for relevant code in the plugin's source.
