Research direction
Review the comments in issue #395 for prior discussion and any blockers. Investigate the pre commit tool and its configuration format (e.g., .pre commit config.yaml). Examine the file modules/src/ init .py to understand the current module ordering. Determine if a custom Python hook or an existing hook (like check sorted) can be used to enforce sorted order. The goal is to propose a concrete implementation or decide if it's feasible.
