Auto formatted group imports.

[MarkLyck]

It would be really great to have some rule options for group imports and sort them automatically.

This is the only frustration I have coming from prettier with the prettier-plugin-sort-imports plugin.

That plugin allowed me to set up rules so I could automatically sort all my imports correctly into groups.

in my case my import order was set as follows:

  "importOrder": [
    "",
    "<BUILTIN_MODULES>",
    "",
    "<THIRD_PARTY_MODULES>",
    "",
    "^@/(.*)$",
    "",
    "^[./]",
    ""
  ]

So for example these lines:

import { useState } from 'react'
import { FontAwesomeIcon } from '@fortawesome/react-fontawesome'
import { Button } from '@/ui'
import FilterValue from './FilterValue'
import type { Filter, Operation } from './types'

Would be sorted as:

import { useState } from 'react'

import { FontAwesomeIcon } from '@fortawesome/react-fontawesome'
import { Button } from '@/ui'

import FilterValue from './FilterValue'
import type { Filter, Operation } from './types'

when I save the file, and prettier runs. In my case I have @/ aliased to /src/ which is pretty common in frontend dev.

The problems with the current solution are:

1. if I ever accidentally delete a space between my import groups, they all get mangled together.
2. If I use my code editors auto import feature, they can go in the wrong import group or a group by themselves, and I have to manually go back and move them to the right group.
3. When adding a new import manually, I have to make sure I add it to the right group, whereas with the prettier plugin I just paste it anywhere in my document, and hit save and it goes in the right place.

I would really appreciate a way to accomplish automated import groups in biome! Everything else about this library is fantastic so far, but it keeps screwing up my imports.

Just realized some one else have already suggested a similar feature here: #645

Sorry I only checked issues not discussions for duplicates. Any chance his discussion can become a real issue 🙏 It would be much more useful than manually maintaining the import groups.
