Description

"Sort the order within each group in alphabetical manner based on import path"

That's the current way... what If I wanted something like this..


import React from 'react';
import CompA from './zecomp.js
import CompB from './abigcomp.com

but sorting based on path gives me


import React from 'react';
import CompB from './abigcomp.com
import CompA from './zecomp.js

Research direction
Investigate the import/order rule implementation in eslint plugin import, specifically the sorting logic in `docs/rules/order.md` and `src/rules/order.js`. Understand how groups and path sorting are currently handled. Look at existing comments and discussion for desired behavior. Consider adding a new configuration option like `alphabetize.order` that accepts 'path' or 'name'. Explore any open PRs or issues for prior art.
