How to enable imports auto-sorting (+ in VSCode)?

[ClementNerma]

Hi there!

I've recently started using oxfmt (0.17.0) and I can't for the life of me figure how to enable imports auto-sorting.

I've tried adding the experimentalSortImports to my .oxfmtrc.json, with various values, but the only one that seems to have any effect is newlinesBetween. No other option seem to work.

The imports are not sorted, whether I use VSCode or the CLI. Only a new line is added between import groups, but that's all, and oxlint rightfully complains about imports not being sorted afterwards.

How can I solve this? I've read the documentation and browse several issues on the repo, but I can't seem to find an answer that works.

Same issue here, I am on Zed and this is the main issue. Feels like auto sorting especially imports is half baked. because when I run vp lint it throws error but vp fmt --fix doesn't fix even though Claude says it is the right way. I did check sortImports & experimentalSortImports both but nothing works.

Errors reported by oxlint can not be fixed by oxfmt. These are errors from a lint rule, which should provide its own fix.
If you are using sortImports in oxfmt, disable the lint rule in your setup which report your error.

That's the point. I don't have any specific rules. I only get them directly if I run oxlint via vp lint.

I don't have any specific rules.

Oh I think I found a different culprit in my vite.config.ts under lint:

lint: {
    categories: {
      correctness: 'error',
      perf: 'warn',
      style: 'warn', // <- this uses https://github.com/sindresorhus/eslint-plugin-unicorn which gives other issues
      suspicious: 'warn',
    },
}

Still not sure about auto-imports & all as I only have sortImports in fmt & nowhere else.

Necroing this thead.

oxlint --fix is not auto fixing the sort import issues even though in the rules list it has Has conditional automatic fix in the fixable column.
