[Feature Request] Sorting

[JCKodel]

It would be nice if, after adding a package, the contents of pubspec.yaml is sorted.
I use https://github.com/Tyriar/vscode-sort-lines to do so, but is an extra step.

[jeroen-meijer]

I agree, this would be nice.
Thanks for the suggestion.

[jeroen-meijer]

Will implement this in the next version.

I was thinking of keeping the top-level order the same, but to sort all the dependencies and dev_dependencies by name.
Additionally, I want to sort them by order of:

1. Local packages
2. Hosted on other hosts (not pub.dev)
3. Rest (regular dependencies)

All alphabetically.

@JCKodel what do you think?

[JCKodel]

@jeroen-meijer That would be awesome. This separation between git, file and pub.dev is good (and actually is the way I work, using the https://github.com/Tyriar/vscode-sort-lines plugin (this plugin only sort lines, so dependencies such as git has to be done manually))

[jeroen-meijer]

Great. Working on this right now. Expect a release later today (2.1.0).

[jeroen-meijer]

Implemented. Sorting will now take place like this:

dev_dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: "whatever"
  freezed:
    path: ../freezed
  zombies:
    git: https://.../zombies.git
  forrest:
    hosted: abcdef
  animations: 1.1.2
  get_it: 5.0.1

It would be great if sorting worked according to the Dart link rule sort_pub_dependencies. In that case, all of the sorting is based on the name of the dependency, including putting "flutter" in the right place in the sorting order, e.g. the following is how Pubspec Assist does it:

However, the following is the sort order required by the lint rule:

Great suggestion @csells! I'll have a look at making this change soon 👍🏻

[tmaihoff]

Just came here to request the alphabetic sorting as well. Would be nice to have that function implemented.

Keep up the good work 👍

[jeroen-meijer]

@csells @tmaihoff @JCKodel This has been implemented in v2.3.0 (19219b1). Closing 😄

[csells]

Yay!

[csells]

And it works perfectly. Thanks!
