Assessment
This issue has not been assessed yet.
Description
This VS Code extension should correctly sort YAML entries by key while preserving each key’s associated fields (semantic grouping).
For example, given:
envVars:
- key: XMTP_DB_ENCRYPTION_KEY
sync: false
- key: TYPEDTRADER_DB_DIRECTORY
value: '/var/data'
The extension should output:
envVars:
- key: TYPEDTRADER_DB_DIRECTORY
value: '/var/data'
- key: XMTP_DB_ENCRYPTION_KEY
sync: false
