Description

We already alphabetize items within a single use statements. It would be nice to also alphabetize the use statements themselves if they're not separated by an empty line. This replicates the behavior of the Rust formatter.

cc @eureka-cpu couldn't find an open issue for this but please close it if it's already tracked somewhere else!

Research direction
Examine the existing alphabetical ordering logic for items within a single `use` statement in the Sway formatter (likely in the sway format crate). Extend this logic to reorder multiple `use` statements that are not separated by blank lines. Check the issue comments for any additional maintainer guidance or related discussions. Consider looking at the Rust formatter's behavior as a reference.
