Description

Since Version 2.27.0 we've recognized a change in over 500 files with the ordering rule:

        "import/order": [
          "error",
          {
            "groups": ["builtin", "external", "parent", "sibling", "index"],
            "newlines-between": "always",
            "alphabetize": {
              "order": "asc",
              "caseInsensitive": true
            }
          }
        ],

For example:

@my-local-package/mysub-path @my-local-package/mysub/path

They are now handled different than before and leads to hundres of linting errors where no before.
