About:
KeepSorted is a language-agnostic formatter that identifies and sorts selected blocks of lines within source code. It helps maintain consistent ordering in lists, dependencies, and other grouped data without requiring specialized plugins for each language. This reduces manual effort and prevents ordering-related diffs in version control.
Key Features:
  • Language-agnostic operation works with any text format
  • Configurable block detection using comment markers
  • Preserves code structure while sorting only selected sections
  • Idempotent output ensures consistent formatting
Use Cases:
  • Sorting dependency lists in configuration files
  • Organizing imports or includes in source files
  • Maintaining ordered data in documentation or data files
Alternatives:
  • sort – Unix sort command sorts entire files but lacks context-aware block selection
  • prettier – General code formatter that doesn't offer selective line sorting
