Comment section moved between two import declarations

Prettier-Java 0.7.0

Launched through prettier-maven-plugin 0.7.0 without any option. In the following case, the comment section is moved between two import lines. This bugs depends on import declaration order. If “com.me.Util” is declared first, the generated file is OK.

Input:

package org.mypackage;

/*-
 */

import java.lang.Util;
import java.util.Map;
import com.me.Util;

public class Prettier {}

Output:

package org.mypackage;

import com.me.Util;
/*-
 */
import java.lang.Util;
import java.util.Map;

public class Prettier {}

Expected behavior:

package org.mypackage;

/*-
 */
import java.lang.Util;
import java.util.Map;

import com.me.Util;

public class Prettier {}

My $0.02 is that sorting imports feels within scope for prettier-java, and we really like having it

I agree with @murdos on sorting imports. Further more, in my opinion, prettier’s goal is to standardize code across an organization by sharing a common set of rules so that code made by each contributor looks the same (or at least aims at looking the same)., and imports too are a part of a codebase (maybe not as important as the rest, but still…).

The example is a bit weird too, and may not happen very often (I may not fully understand the motivation behind putting a comment in such a place though). IMO, I wouldn’t say this issue has a “high priority”. I’m sure there must be a more important task to do.
