Ordering Use, Import, Alias, Require?

Nevermind, the styleguide is pretty explicit about this: GitHub - christopheradams/elixir_style_guide: A community driven style guide for Elixir · GitHub

List module attributes and directives in the following order:

• @moduledoc
• @behaviour
• use
• import
• alias
• require
• defstruct
• @type
• @module_attribute
• @callback
• @macrocallback
• @optional_callbacks

Add a blank line between each grouping, and sort the terms (like module names) alphabetically.

It won‘t ever do that. One premise of the core formatter is that it won‘t change the underlying AST by applying formatting. That ensures that formatting will never introduce a change in behavior of the code and therefore won‘t introduce unintended bugs. Reordering expressions means changing the AST however.

I wonder if anyone is using the following:

• alias
• import
• require
• use

So you can just sort the whole thing alphabetically, without empty lines.

An only after that module attributes, including @moduledoc, as in the doc I found quite often useful to be able to reuse another attribute, or even call a remote function.
