Research direction

Start at the FormatCode entry point named in the issue and trace how code formatting is applied to C++ source. The work is done when include directives are sorted alphabetically in the formatted output, while the existing formatting behavior remains intact.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The google C++ style guide recommends to sort include directives alphabetically. https://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cppguide.html#Names_and_Order_of_Includes

It would be nice if codefmt's FormatCode could also do this.
